<p>Stephanie Evergreen is a data visualization and design expert. She has trained future data nerds worldwide through keynotes and workshops, for Fortune 500 clients like MasterCard and Facebook and mission-aligned clients like the United Nations, the Boys and Girls Club, AARP, and The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. She has three books and a popular blog on data visualization.</p>
<p>Data: we’ve all got tons of access to it these days. But perhaps almost too much &#8211; how do we actually make sense of it and then communicate clearly with it? In this conversation, Stephanie and I explore how a leader can best use data to make their message land.</p>
<h3 id="key-points">Key Points</h3>
<ul>
<li>Many of us are overwhelmed by access to data, but lots of leaders find that much of the data isn’t actionable for increasing performance.</li>
<li>Because dashboards attempt to answer many questions, they often result in doing a poor job of highlighting a key message or insight.</li>
<li>Instead of showing every data point you’ve ever collected, use smart formatting to highlight the single thing your team needs to know.</li>
<li>Decide in advance what the key message of a slide, chart, or presentation should be. Then, design for that clear message.</li>
<li>Answer the burning question that your audience is likely asking.</li>
<li>Leaders set the tone for transparency with data that isn’t good news. Encourage and reward hearing the honest story to establish a culture where truth is shared and addressed.</li>
