Presenters: Lauren Todd, AVP – Labor Management, HCA Healthcare; Jacquie Maupin, Senior Program Manager, Aptive Resources

You’ve crunched endless rows of data. Tableau created masterful graphics. And you've just delivered what you believe is a topnotch presentation to the executive team.

But the leaders look at the data in confusion and respond with: Huh?

Time to move beyond presentations that leave leaders stuck in a "data haze" and toward meaningful conversations that drive decision-making.

Kick off your conference by learning how to elevate your presentation messages, and transition from a skilled data-cruncher to an insightful thought partner.

Join this interactive workshop for presentation best practices from consulting and the hospital industry, including:

  • Audience analysis
  • Logical structure and storytelling
  • Slide design that resonates with leaders

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Students and early careerists
  • Data analysts interested in boosting their impact
  • Employees new to creating data presentations or briefing senior leaders
  • Professionals desiring to sharpen their skills as a "data translator"

Participants will engage in hands-on activities, and will receive practical checklists and templates they can use immediately in their organization.
