Lots of great takeaways here! I love the passion at the end when Scott talks about people _feeling_ your message. In fact, I used a couple of clips from this video - plus various others from the likes of Nancy Duarte (author of DataStory) and Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic (Storytelling with Data) - in my post called "3 steps to present like a dataviz rockstar". If you Google that phrase (with the quote marks), you'll find it. P.S. The 3 steps are: Simplify (your content), Satisfy (people's craving for answers), Storify (your message)... 🙂
Great explanation Scott. (We've assigned Good Charts to our Master of Science in Marketing students. It's essential reading for ANYONE who wants to visualize data.)
That background music always gives me a feeling that "something's up".. Helps me to focus intently because this is similar to the music in movies when something interesting is going on..
Great visual at 2:45 to really visualize how you can deconstruct data into a story. I deconstruct pitch decks using whiteboarding software in order to identify the core elements of the story and ensure there is a cohesive message.
This was amazingly helpful. Thank you for putting this together (and not making it boring)! Quick thought: I understand the meaning behind that last title, "New Bubbles Floating," but wonder if it sacrificed some clarity for cleverness. What do you think?
Great video! Excellent way to illustrate what's meant by storytelling with data! On the chart and data used in the example here, would it make more sense to use a log scale? The percentage change matters, but a straight index scale with a 2005 reference point distorts that. For example, the change from 0.2 to 1.0 is a huge 5x (400%) increase but is visually represented the same as a 1.0 to 1.8 (80%) increase in the scaling choice here. I've read Berinato's "Good Charts" book many times, it's excellent and I highly recommend it.
Rob, good question about the log scale. I tend to subscribe to what Charles Richter (yes, of the logarithmic Richter Scale) said..."Logarithmic plots are a device of the devil." !! In fact, it may work to show those changes you mention but people tend not to understand log scales intuitively so I'd want to make sure my audience was well versed in log scales before proceeding. Even then, I'd be hesitant. But you are right it would show the difference in percent change at low values and high values in a different and possibly equally or more effective way. Thanks for the kind words!
I'm agreeing with Scott on this one. Unless people are used to making their own log scales, they just don't get the concept of what they mean. (It's like people using the word "exponentially" without any idea of what that really means.)
When we hear the word 'conflict' we deploy what we have in our categories of understanding to make it intelligible. In our categories of understanding conflict refers to opposition of two entities. I wonder how if you have to tell a story by using data a change in the data must be labeled 'conflict'/ For instance if a benefit, in other words something that per se positive has increased, there is a change in the data, so even a positive change must be a conflict in story telling. Why not the idea of 'alterity' that refers to the otherness. If we are in a world full of trouble we shouldn't banalize certain words till to give account of a change in the data, you must consider it as conflict
Or read "How to lie with statistics" :-) I disagree with the overall message about manipulation for the sake of feelings. A good story underlines a real phenomenon, whose discovery touches people feelings. A story told for the feelings and based on data visuals only without a real undergoing phenomenology is just a fairy tail.

Presentation skills demystified. No wonder most people doze off during power-point presentations. Tell the story!
Amazing, you actually gave a life to this bunch of lines and numbers. Great video!
Using this in my writing bro. Thank you for your clarity. Cross disciplinary study fuels innovation.
Wow - the before & after (data only vs after you applied the narrative framework) really drives home the point. Nice work!

Thanks! This will help with my graduate project.
Thanks for a really cool and to the point video. Great learning and teaching tool for quick meet ups leadin g to later discussion. Very cool. 👍

Very interesting look at this topic! Thanks.
Well done. What a great way to manipulate people with facts!
Brilliant explanation on how to interpret data and how to communicate
Nice, improves clarity and simplicity in using data
Why algorithm dosen't recommend such videos :(

Very interesting! Thanks for the great video!
Well made video, thank you
Thanks for this, such a great example it is
loved it. great advise. thank you.
Very interesting! Thanks for posting.
great video !!! someone can tell me which program is used to make the segmented graph at the end ??? thks
Great and easy way of understanding thank you!
Has anyone ever told you how beautiful ❤️ you look ?
Great explanation 👌
Amazing!!!
At Google we were taught it as Context-Complication-Resolution.
What’s the difference?
so what is the resolution?
great video, thnx!
Nice video. Which software do you use for the graphs?
Do any one tries on any other sample data? Please share your data story here. An TH-cam video would be great.
Thanks Sir
Setup
Conflict
Resolution
so good
Is Japan not an outlier here?
can anyone do a reverse. For example what if Star Wars was a Graphics.
Focus on changing point of comparison group by time line.
fascinating!
How did you determine to use 2005 as the index point?
Im here for PRINCIPAL Financial Group
I bought yout book Scott
So cool
The same principle has been used in Avenger infinity war hahahhahahahhahah, thanks
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Amazing!
Delivery format is too compact.
Fit for TikTok, not TH-cam.
It’s interesting

I seriously thought this video was going to introduce Brent Spiner telling a story... I demand a refund!
lol!

Maybe I'm too immature to understand this, but according to me this is bs
Great and easy way of understanding thank you!
Has anyone ever say to you deep down that you are an amazing beauty?
amazing! creative, involving and generous. Thank you!
