Skill development programs where participants see themselves improve immediately.

I lead workshops for organizations that want to help their expert professionals better communicate about data and analytical results

Persuading with Data Workshops Help Individuals…

 

Visualize.

Develop data visualizations that explain the result of their analysis to less technical audiences

Present.

Present their work with increased clarity and confidence

Organize.

Organize their thoughts logically and persuasively

 

My workshops help experts get out of the weeds and communicate better with senior managers, other groups within your organization, and external stakeholders. My teaching focuses on developing skills and demonstrating concepts rather than just talking about them. I believe that participants who get to see their skills improve during a workshop will be more inspired to use those skills in the future.

 

Workshops

My workshops are designed for organizations that primarily use slides to communicate the results of data analysis. Customization and focus on different topics are available on request.

 

  • My two-day, small group workshops can be delivered online or in-person to groups of 18-36 people.

    The standard offering is designed for organizations that primarily use slides to communicate. The two-day workshop develops all the skills listed above and allows participants to get meaningful time to connect and work with others that they don’t typically work with.

  • Half-day workshops introduce participants to the idea that communicating about data is a separate and distinct skill from the skills required to analyze data. The half-day workshops focus on one skill. They allow participants to identify some gaps in their current skillset and provide them with a framework to improve. The size of the workshop will depend on which topic your organization wants to focus on.

 

Designed differently for different channels.

Persuading with Data workshops can be offered both online and in-person. Each workshop is customized for the channel. Offering an online Persuading with Data workshop to your organization does not mean signing people up for an eight-hour video conference. The format is tailored to match the delivery channel. 

Online Workshops

Online workshops are designed to maximize engagement and minimize the time each participant has to spend online. They use pre-recorded videos and prep work to allow participants to spend their time strengthening their skills, not just listening to lectures.

The Curse of Knowledge: Why Experts Struggle to Explain Their Work

Why do professionals with technical expertise frequently fail to influence others to take action, even when armed with sound data and insights? 

Praise for the Online Workshops

  • “The pre-work really sets up the workshop well, so not all the information is new at the full group sessions. The lectures reinforced the ideas, and the breakout sessions were very helpful to practice. I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for the last couple of days.”

  • “Miro was a thorough professional, right from the pre-read and videos to trying to give everyone individual attention he was on top of things.”

  • “As close to a face-to-face training as you can get.”

  • “Fantastic engagement and I found it impressive how [Miro] was able to keep the broader virtual audience engaged as oftentimes in larger virtual groups people can tune out.”

In-Person Workshops

In-person workshops focus on both building skills and developing connections within and across your organization. Participants in these workshops will have the chance to get to know others in the workshop, not just on a social basis, but as professionals helping each other to improve.
