Cut the Clutter: Turning Complex Data into Compelling Stories
Technical professionals face a common challenge: how do you make complex data clear and compelling for non-technical audiences? Too often, important insights get lost in detail-heavy presentations.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to translate data into stories that engage, clarify, and inspire action. Using proven storytelling techniques, we’ll show you how to simplify without oversimplifying , so your message is understood, valued, and remembered.
You’ll walk away with tools to:
- Find the story inside the data
- Structure your message for clarity and impact
- Engage non-technical audiences without losing accuracy
Join us on to start turning complexity into clarity.

Cut the Clutter: Turning Complex Data into Compelling Stories
Numbers alone rarely inspire action. A story built around the data can. In this short-but-interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to craft narratives that make your data insights clear, memorable, and meaningful, and explore ways to integrate those stories into even the most data-heavy presentations. You’ll leave ready to turn spreadsheets into stories that stick.

Lost in Translation
Miscommunication is universal. Sometimes the words were right but the meaning missed the mark. Sometimes the timing, tone, or assumptions sent everything sideways. For this Story Hour, bring a tale about a moment when your message did not land. Share what happened, what you learned, and how you found your way back to understanding.

The Worst Meeting of Your Life
We all have that one meeting we will never forget, usually because nothing went according to plan. Maybe the tension was high, the agenda unraveled, or a single comment derailed everything. This month, tell a story about a gathering that went off the rails and what you did to navigate it. What did the experience teach you about communication, preparation, or resilience?

You Could Feel It in the Room
Every room has a pulse. Sometimes the energy is electric and contagious. Other times it is heavy, hesitant, or fraught. Bring a story about a moment when the atmosphere in a room was impossible to ignore. What created that energy, how did you respond, and what shifted because of it?

No Filter
Honesty can be refreshing, disarming, or a little dangerous. Tell a story about a time when you or someone else decided to share the unpolished truth. Maybe it was bold, messy, or overdue. What happened when the filter came off, and what did the moment reveal about courage, communication, or connection?

Story Hour - Lightning Talks
Friday, September 5, 2025

Today’s Prompt - Lightning Talks
One of the hardest things to do is to deliver a clear and coherent message in a short amount of time, and yet we see more and more of our clients are asked to put together a succinct talk. We thought it would be fun to invite our community to give it a shot as Story Hour is a place of practice and learning. Instead of a 5 min or less story, speakers are challenged to deliver a 5 min or less talk. Slides or another version of visual aid is allowed but certainly not required.

Story Hour - Sell Me This Pen
Friday October 3rd, 2025
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Today’s Prompt - Sell Me This Pen
In the movie, Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Jordan Belfort, asks a room full of salespeople to sell him a pen. The ask tests a salesperson's ability to understand a client's needs and demonstrate why a solution would be of value. The scene illustrates a fundamental selling point: that it's not enough to have a great product or service, you also have to know how to sell that product or service.
Part of effective selling is telling a compelling story… one that will shift how a prospect thinks or acts. In this Story Hour, we invite our storytellers to tell a story that will convince us that we need something we don’t have, or should do something we otherwise wouldn’t. Learning to develop a story like this is helpful for anyone in any function—sales or not—because invariably we’ll find ourselves in moments where we need to influence others to think or act a certain way.

Story Hour - Safe At Last
Friday, November 7, 2025
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Today’s Prompt - Safe At Last
Safety (and lack of safety) can mean a million things…and that’s why it’s a great metaphor and potential story prompt. Do you have an exciting outdoor adventure story where you were worried about your physical safety that could be a metaphor and help you share a lesson about courage or trying something new? Do you have a story about a leader that risked your psychological safety and how another leader or peer was able to help you navigate that space?
At this Story Hour, we ask our speakers to share their stories of safety (or lack of safety) and what they learned as a result of that experience.
