How To Present Data More Effectively For Your Audience (aka The Human Mind)

March 17, 2025

9:00 am - 10:00 am PT | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

We hear a lot about applying data to action. But for data to make an impact, it must first take a journey through the human mind. Understanding the challenges of that journey helps us to present data so that the mind can actually see, grasp, remember, and apply it. In this workshop, participants will learn about: Attention and Memory. How to present data so that it not only makes it through the entry gate (attention) but stays there long enough to influence decision making (memory).
Perception. How to present data to avoid the human mind's perception glitches and to capitalize on its perception super powers. Specifically, we will consider:
Data blind spots
Social influence
Assumptions and beliefs
Visual super processing

Who Should Attend?

Professionals interested in learning more about data.
