Lunch and Learn - Stop Data Dumping to Investors and Start Storytelling!
Are your presentations drowning in data?
It’s a Monday morning and you have an investor presentation to secure your start-up with funding, but it doesn’t feel right. Does your gut tell you that your slides are data-heavy, and even confusing? Did you notice at your last pitch notice that your audience was not as engaged as you’d like? Charts alone don’t win hearts—or decisions. There's a delicate balance of data with storytelling that your audience needs, but how do you strike that balance?
💡 Learn how to:
✅ Put Heart Behind the Chart—engage before you analyze
✅ Transform dry data into compelling narratives
✅ Keep your audience focused, inspired, and ready to act with a presentation designed for speakers, not just readers.
🔥 No one is going to remember the pie-chart, but they will remember the story!
