Workshop details

Keeping data presentation audiences awake and engaged is hard.

The way your team presents data to decision-makers matters. When the people in charge don’t understand the value of the data and services your team provides, trust and confidence can get eroded. 

Simple, cohesive, and beautifully designed data presentations that communicate the value of your team help you stand out and become indispensable.

The Boot Camp is an immersive 1-day dive into Lea Pica's very best presentation and data visualization principles and practices.

Participants will emerge from this training completely transformed with a robust and comprehensive toolbox that will pave the way for them as significant organizational contributors, communicators, and strategic advisors.
