Winner: Axiom Award Gold Medal (Networking)Scientists have proven that stories make the brain light up in ways no other form of communication does. Using story frameworks as a communication device for data will help make your recommendations stick and be acted on.Organizations use data to identify problems or opportunities. The actions others may need to take today from your insights in data could reverse or improve the trajectory of your future data. So, communicating data well, drives very important outcomes.Even though most roles depend on data, communicating well is the top skill gap in roles using data. The essential skill for today’s leaders (and aspiring leaders) is shaping data into narratives that make a clear recommendation and inspire others to act. Almost every role today uses data for decision making. As you grow in your career, you can become a strategic advisor and ultimately a leader using data to shape a future where humanity and organizations flourish.Duarte and her team have culled through thousands of data slides of her clients in technology, finance, healthcare, and consumer products, to decode how the highest performing brands communicate with data.DataStory teaches you the most effective ways to turn your data into narratives that blend the power of language, numbers, and graphics.

Instead, you’ll learn how to transform numbers into narratives to drive action.It will help you communicate data in a way that creates outcomes both inside and outside your own organization.It will help you earn a reputation as a trusted advisor, which will advance your career.it will help your organization make faster decisions and inspire others to act on them!Nancy Duarte is one of the preeminent storytellers in American business and the acclaimed author of Slide:ology, Resonate, and the HBR Guide to Persuasive Presentations comes this book that will help you transform numbers into narratives.

Wo sich der erfolgreiche Vorgänger slide:ology noch mit den besten Techniken visueller Kommunikation beschäftigt hat, verbindet resonate Publikum und Präsentierende auf einer emotionalen Ebene. Wie das funktioniert? Ganz einfach:Eine Präsentation zu erstellen ist ein bisschen wie ein Drehbuch für einen Dokumentarfilm zu schreiben. Bevor man sich an die Präsentation wagt, braucht man eine Geschichte. Denn niemand wird sich für Ihre wichtigen Informationen interessieren und Sie unterstützen, wenn Sie es nicht schaffen die Information in eine emotionale und fesselnde Geschichte zu verpacken. Indem Sie das Publikum in die Rolle des Helden schlüpfen lassen und selbst die Rolle des Mentors übernehmen, der den Helden dazu bringt sich dem Abenteuer zu stellen, sorgen Sie für einen Rollentausch, der das Publikum in Ihren Bann zieht. So gelingt es Ihnen garantiert, Ihr Publikum zu verändern und für Ihre Sache zu begeistern.Beim Präsentieren geht es also nicht nur um Gestaltung, richtige Vorbereitung und gute Rhetorik, sondern darum, eine mitreißende Geschichte zu erzählen. Geschichten haben die Macht das Denken zu verändern und Präsentationen mit neuem Leben zu erfüllen. Nancy Duarte ist eine der größten Geschichtenerzählerinnen unserer Zeit und hat mit "resonate oder wie Sie mit packenden Stories und einer fesselnden Inszenierung Ihr Publikum verändern" ein unverzichtbares Buch für alle geschaffen, die vor einem Publikum stehen und überzeugen müssen. Dabei bedient sie sich bei großen Rednern und Präsentatoren wie Steve Jobs, Leonard Bernstein, Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan und Alfred Hitchcock. Mit Resonate werden Sie- Prinzipien kennenlernen, die hinter großen Reden stecken und sie wirksam einsetzen.- sich mit Ihrem Publikum auf einer emotionalen Ebene verbinden.- fesselnde Inhalte erzeugen.- Ideen entwickeln, die Ihrem Publikum im Gedächtnis bleiben.- es schaffen, Ihr Publikum nachhaltig zu begeistern.

Nancy Duarte und Patti Sanchez zeigen in ihrem Buch, dass Wandel nicht schwierig und hart sein muss. Mit den richtigen Kommunikations-Tools können Führungskräfte andere dazu inspirieren, nach einer strahlenderen Zukunft zu streben, und sie dazu bewegen, diese Zukunft Realität werden zu lassen. In "Illuminate" bieten die beiden Autorinnen für Führungskräfte einen Plan für die 5 Stufen der Transformation, unter Nutzung von Reden, Storys, Feiern und Symbolen.Jede Führungskraft kann wachrüttelnde Momente schaffen, die Mitarbeiter motivieren. Dieses Buch wird Ihnen zeigen, wie Sie Mitarbeiter ermutigen, begeistert wagemutige Pläne zu akzeptieren und durchzuführen. Sie können: - identifizieren in welcher Phase der Unternehmung Sie sind und wo es als Nächstes hingeht.- sich in die Mitarbeiter einfühlen, die Widerstände aufbauen und die Reise durch ihre Augen sehen.- artikulieren, was Menschen hören (Reden und Storys), tun (Feiern) und sehen müssen (Symbole), um auch nach Ihrer Vision zu streben.- Meilensteine und Errungenschaften entlang des Weges zelebrieren. "Illuminate" ist vollgestopft mit Case Studies von Führungskräften, die machtvolle Kommunikation genutzt haben, um gut durch eine Transformation zu navigieren, zum Beispiel Starbucks und Apple. Wenn Sie diese effektiven Kommunikations-Tools meistern, werden Sie auch in der Lage sein, andere souverän in die Zukunft zu führen.
