If your reports get skimmed, misunderstood, or ignored, the problem might not be your numbers—it could be how you’re showing them.

When colleagues can’t instantly see the key takeaways, they miss what’s important. And if you’re spending hours formatting, explaining your visuals, or fielding “Can you just walk me through this?” emails… you’re working too hard.

Join this session and learn:

  • How to combine chart types to tell a clear story.
  • When and how to use visual alerts like traffic lights.
  • How to make your charts dynamic and self-updating.

We’ll help you ditch bland charts and build visuals that speak for themselves—whether you’re presenting to execs, colleagues, or clients. Clear visuals = faster decisions.

Workplace reporting is often chaotic—dense tables, clashing visuals, and charts that raise more questions than answers. In an era of data overload, clarity is everything. The ability to present data visually in a way that communicates the right message, quickly and effectively, is a skill every professional needs.

This webinar addresses a widespread challenge: turning raw Excel data into engaging, easy-to-interpret visuals. Many users know how to enter data but struggle to present it in a polished, professional way. This session offers techniques that anyone can use to tell a story through charts, icons, and formatting—no advanced formulas required.
