7 Effective Tips for Presenting Data at Work!

- Apparently you lose all credibility by using Pie Charts 🥧, so in this video, I share 7 Data Storytelling Tips to Improve Your Presentations to colleagues, managers, and senior leadership!
One of the most important skills to build in the workplace is to present data in an effective way. Data by itself is useless, it's how you interpret and how you present that data that will separate you from your peers. Data Visualization often means creating graphs and charts that tell a compelling story - a story that captures the audience's attention and makes them want to take action.
One of my favorite data storytelling tips is to use color purposeful to highlight one or two important elements in your slide. Our brains are wired to recognize patterns so colors are great to focusing our audience's attention. Furthermore, waterfall charts (waterfall graphs) are amazing at showing how two numbers relate to one another. This type of graph is used by many consulting firms (most notably by McKinsey Consultants).
Comparison graphs are also great at bringing the data to life: What would happen if Option B happened instead of Option B? And can we put a number to the difference?

Well I'm glad I did Oliver, thank you 😁
First of all, these tips are real gems. Great job Jeff!
I'm definitely going to use the tip about using colours to create a contrast.
It would be great if we can somehow show that we can present something on a really boring topic but still ccnvey it effectively. I think that would make for an exciting video!
Great idea Stereo, thanks for letting me know!
Jeff is the elder brother we all wanted!! Thanks Jeff!!❤

Hi Jeff and thanks for the many tips. There's a good book about presentations : The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs (by Carmine Gallo). I did the french translation and I think it's a great book.

Glad to hear it Jacky!
Hey Jeff, First of all: Great video ❤ as always...
There were some tips that I often use like Colors and consistent formatting, to which your explanation was great.
I would love to have a video on how to make slides, but more than that I have something in my mind which I have researched but didn't find the proper answer to. Also, I think you can do a great job in explaining that thing. I think documenting what you are doing is a great way of learning. One of the reasons is that you can always go back to see what you have done so far and decide what is the next step. I think it benefits the working professionals as well as students. . But, there must be some proper way of doing so. I have been doing so in my projects and while I am learning something new, but I believe there is a lot which I must be missing out on and you can help me with.
Hi Akhil - So you're talking about how best to document as you learn new things?
@@JeffSu yup!
As always... Very useful tips... Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Dan 😁
Love me some data content! Keep this coming, Jeff!
Not sure if you've read it or not but I really enjoyed the book "Storytelling with data" by Cole Knaflic. Super helpful with understanding how to present data.
Thanks for the book tip Luke! Just searched "Storytelling with data" on Amazon and it's got amazing reviews! I should definitely check it out!
@@JeffSu Awe I should have sent my affiliate link to save you the search.. haha 🤣
Very informative and helpful to junior data analytics like myself
Great to hear Amiin!! 😁
This is insightful , Thanks Jeff !! The world needs to G-Meet tips from you next😁
I was just thinking about Google Meet tips last night, it's something I'll need to do a bit more research on!

Hey jeff, amazing stuff. Can you please make a video dedicated video of building slides from scratch?
Will do down the line, thanks for letting me know!
Good energy. Great content.
Thank you Steve! 😁
I’d personally love to see a video on making slides from scratch! Idk about you but I tend to have a bad habit of cramming as much on each slide as possible so some tips on info distribution would be a lifesaver 😆
Omg those Game of Throne roasts 😂 It’s okay Jeff, time shall heal all wounds (and rage)
Yes! Simplicity often wins out 😁
Haha I really like the GoT series and although I did enjoy Season 8 I do feel like all the hate (from other sources) are justified 😉
Some things are just better left to our own imaginations huh? 😆
@@Andrea_Dong yesssss
A huge fan from Thailand! 😆 Been following you for a while (actually watched all your VDOs, does that sound creepy? LOL), loooooved all your content. Btw, I wonder what programs you use for VDO editing cuz they are amazing 🤩
Only slightly creeped out 😉. I use Final Cut Pro! 😁
Building creative slides from scratch is so hard sometimes... For me a template is so important than but it would be so interesting to see how to make a good looking slide from scratch🔥
Good point Jonas! Thanks for the idea!
Very useful information!
Thank you Shiv 😁
Good tips, Jeff!
Thank you Ronilson :D
thank you!
You're welcome Duarte!
Hi, Jeff! What is the search short cut that allows you to search of information but in chart format? I recall you mentioning this function but could not locate the video you mentioned this in. Super appreciate you and the informative info you've shared! Thanks!
Sorry Natalia I'm not sure what you're referring to 😅
Hi Jeff!
Could you please do one video on tips on creating an investment pitch deck?
Hi Arshin! I'm not sure I'm qualified, I would actually check out @Peak Framework's channel :)
These tips are amazing! It feels like a crash course for business presentation, thank you so much!! By the way, what are your thoughts on Julius AI? I've been using it recently for creating charts like the ones you created and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it
Just checked it out, Julius AI seems to be super handy for working professionals. How long have you been using it?
@@JeffSu I've been using it for a couple months now. It's been great! I wish there were more video reviews/guides about it though.
excellent tips!
Thanks!!!
Wow nice one!!!
Thank you 😁
thank you so much
You're very welcome Thur! 😁
I think we need more videos about presentations:)
Thanks Tskali! I might make one on the most useful charts and graphs to create for presentations!
Jeff, please create a video solely on building presentations.
Will do in the future 😁
Really helpful tips... as always 🥰
Thank you very much for sharing
Maybe now there is the video on building slides from scratch... 🙏🏾😉
Hahaha I still haven't gotten around to it....so much content, so little time :(
@@JeffSu And you still take the time to respond to each comment ?!?
Wow... Lovely 🥰
@@FaaBioo972 of course!!!
Amazing Video like your Shirt. Which software do you use for editing ? Please make a video on it too.
Final Cut Pro :)
Hi Jeff, love your videos. Just a suggestion plz don't add background music, it's distracting..also could you maybe teach us how to make these amazing slides for any presentation.
Thanks for the feedback my friend!
Where did you get the stickers from please? And how do I get the comparison sticker in the chart? Do you have any videos on how to create the waterfall chart? Thank you for all your tips, very helpful!! :D
You can create the stickers yourself using shapes + text box :). Waterfall chart you can create from Excel or Google Sheets! 😁
impressive as always
Thank you Mick!!
we should have a video on creating presentations from scratch!
Thanks in advance Jeff
Thanks for the idea aget! It's in the content pipeline :)
This is a bit late, but I would like a video of "building slides from scratch" =) Perhaps you've already made one, if not. Im interested!
That will be coming up in 2023!
Great video. What is the plug-in pack in your video software you are using to do your full-screen transition titles?
Oh I created that one myself but I stopped using it. I use Motion VFX now: motionvfx.sjv.io/ORQoyr
Really, are you certain? I’ve seen this same one used on Ali Abdaal’s channel. It’s really cool
@@benhielscher Yes! I copied him hahahaha
Hi Jeff,
I really want to enhance my presentations and would be glad if you could recommend any training that I can take to do so.
The oral part? Or the slide creation part?
the waterfall chart is truly 👁eyeopening👁
*also notice a slight change in editing style 🤔
Hahaha like good eyeopening or...?
And...good change in editing style or...? 😂
@@JeffSu it's a good eyeopening, I definitely see myself using a waterfall chart in my future presentation, thanks bruh! and... just my personal preference, I'm a huge fan of your old editing style in this video: czcams.com/video/ClmHniKlt6k/video.html
@@trinitygao3418 Thanks for letting me know and linking the video Trinity! It was nice looking back at some of my older videos 😂
It seems that you really hate GoT season 8 lol. Another great video, thank Jeff!
I wouldn't use the word "HATE" but...I mean...it can be MUCH MUCH better 😉
Was in charge of a brand in my previous job and wow, I unconsciously applied most of these!
I remember those days where behind that one slide of simple, pretty, insightful slide, are hours of data tweaking and PPT editing 😂
1 hour just to change graph size and color, anyone??
Also pie charts are actually good when showing how a product dominates (or dominated) in a market share. Just make a visually good design of it.
Great points Fransisco! And yes I definitely spent a LOT of time on PPTs 😅
You have a similar pitch just like guy Kawasaki. Congrats!
Wow. That is an AMAZING compliment. Thank you!
Any tips on how to make a good headline for each slides?
Check out my "5 small changes to improve presentations forever" video 😁
Pls have a NOTION TEMPELATE Video.
Which one? 😅
@@JeffSu Notion tempelate for NOTE TAKING FOR NON FICTIONAL BOOKS
@@mohitsoundankar it’s coming up, no worries 😁
@@JeffSu Ok Thanks a lot Jeff
Please make more such videos
Will do Nilesh! 😁
He's so good at data storytelling he puts his children to bed using charts and graphs.
And those children grow up to be successful working professionals 😂
I liked the video in general. One question: are pie charts really that bad though? Aren't there some situations where they might be useful? For example, I think they represent percentage shares really well.
So I actually asked my colleagues in Strategy & Ops team about this and they said it's fine to use Pie Charts it's just not encouraged since it's just not easy for us to differentiate the sizes of individual slices within the pie chart
@@JeffSu thanks Jeff
No problem!
@@ProfoundFamiliarity
Best video
I agree 😉
