"Each chapter starts with a brief recap of the key lessons that are covered in storytelling with data. This is followed by: 'practice with Cole': exercises based on real-world examples posed for you to consider and solve, accompanied by detailed step-by-step illustration and explanation; 'practice on your own': more exercises and thought-provoking questions for you to work through individually without prescribed solutions; 'practice at work': thoughtful guidance and hands-on exercises for applying the lessons learned on the job, including practical instruction on when and how to solicit useful feedback and iterate to refine your work from good to great Much of the content you’ll encounter here is inspired by our storytelling with data workshops. Because these sessions span many industries, so do the examples upon which I’ll draw. We’ll navigate between different topics—from digital marketing to pet adoption to sales training—giving you a rich and varied set of situations to learn from as you hone your data storytelling skills."
