Apply here → https://theanalyticsaccelerator.com/ 🎬 We’re looking for a video editor! → https://bit.ly/46gfaJP If you (or someone you know) loves editing long-form educational YouTube content and want to work with me on videos that make a real impact, I’d love to hear from you! ABOUT THIS VIDEO Most analysts can make a chart. But making someone *care* about what that chart says? That’s the real flex. In this video, we cover how to turn “just a graph” into a story that clicks with hiring managers, teammates, and stakeholders. • A Tableau demo where I dig into business-relevant data and uncover the actual story behind the numbers • Standout examples of data storytelling from my students • Industry Do's and Don'ts of data storytelling (including why pie charts get you silently judged) If your dashboards are saying too much - or nothing at all - this one’s for you.
