DESCRIPTION:From Numbers to Narratives: Data Storytelling to Influence Deci
	sion Makers You can have the right data and still lose the room. If you ha
	ve ever watched your charts land flat\, your insights get ignored\, or you
	r recommendations stall after a meeting\, you are not alone. The differenc
	e is rarely the numbers. It is the story you build around them. In today’s
	 data-driven workplace\, analysis is only half the battle. This hands-on s
	ession helps early and mid-career professionals move beyond reporting and 
	into influence by turning data snapshots into narrative arcs that drive de
	cisions. You will learn how to establish stakes\, frame the challenge\, el
	evate the most important insights\, and propose a clear\, data-backed path
	 forward. Whether you are speaking to technical peers or senior leaders\, 
	you will leave with a practical approach for making your message stick and
	 your recommendations easier to act on. Attend\, and you will: - Learn how
	 to balance accurate data\, persuasive narrative\, and clear visuals so pe
	ople understand what matters - Practice tailoring your story to different 
	audiences\, from technical teams to senior decision makers - Strengthen th
	e “so what” by distilling complex information into two to three insights p
	eople remember - Explore techniques for building trust and influencing out
	comes\, even without formal authority - Leave with a repeatable framework 
	you can use in presentations\, dashboards\, and written updates Join us fo
	r a session that helps you turn information into impact. Bring a current p
	roject or dataset you are working with\, and be ready to translate your nu
	mbers into a story that drives action. About Amanda Beavin Amanda Beavin i
