Data doesn't persuade. Insight does.
In this episode, I break down what effective data visualization really means—and why most charts fail to do their job. This isn't about making slides look prettier. It's about helping your audience think clearly, decide faster, and trust your analysis.
Drawing on lessons from Edward Tufte's work and Good Charts by Scott Berinato, Gregory explains how to move from cluttered, confusing visuals to charts that make the point unmistakable.
You'll learn:
Why every chart should answer one clear question—and how to define it before you design
How to match chart types to intent, so your audience doesn't have to work to understand your message
What it really means to simplify ruthlessly, including what to remove, mute, or highlight
Why message-driven titles dramatically improve comprehension
How context, annotation, and design for the room turn data into evidence
Whether you're preparing for class presentations, internship updates, or executive decks, this episode will help you stop using charts as decoration—and start using them as tools for influence.
