to get people to pay attention to our critical findings. Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic taught us
valuable lessons in her workshop and it is fantastic to see these expanded upon in Storytelling
with Data . My team is already using the lessons Cole teaches to move people to action as they
see new pearls of understanding and make a difference in the lives of others. Now others can
too! " - Eleanor Bell Director of Business Analytics at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation "There

accomplishes that with her first book. She is an advocate for clarity and concision in
visualization and her book is as clear concise and practical as it gets. If you are a
beginner in visualization or if you struggle to produce good charts in your everyday job with
tools like Excel Tableau Qlik and the like this is a great place to start learning the core
principles ." - Alberto Cairo Knight Chair in Visual Journalism and Professor of Visualization
