<p>“I teach data-driven storytelling and communication to undergraduate, Ph.D. students, MBAs, and executives. Across all of these, <i>storytelling with data</i> is my core textbook and in every class, students want more from Cole—particularly in the form of hands-on remakes. I'm thrilled that I can now add <i>Let's Practice!</i> to my courses. <b>Packed with examples and practical strategies, this is a must-have resource for anyone who needs to convey data, or to teach this critical professional skill to others.</b>”</p> <p>—<b>Steven Franconeri</b>, Professor of Psychology, Director of the Cognitive Science Program and the Visual Thinking Lab at Northwestern University</p> <p> </p> <p>“This book is stellar. Do not be fooled and think it is merely a set of practice exercises that augment the first book. <b><i>Let’s Practice!</i> offers a treasure chest full of insights on change management, collaboration, leadership engagement, feedback, iteration, and how to think critically about what is important to the organization and its stakeholders. </b>Cole offers clear, explicit instructions on how to define your audience, determine their needs, and craft narratives that engage and enlighten.”</p> <p>—<b>Steve Wexler, </b>author of <i>The Big Book of Dashboards</i></p>
