Nancy Duarte has been one of my long-time inspirations. CEO of a renowned Silicon Valley communications firm and author of SWD oft-recommended best sellers Slide:ology and Resonate, she’s just published a new book: DataStory. This will be a great addition to the library of those who need to communicate their ideas to busy executives, with bite-sized topics for easy consumption.

I had the pleasure of talking with Nancy earlier this month—I invite you to listen to our conversation about her journey, her new book, and related topics. Hope you enjoy!

From graphs made with electric tape and exacto knives at NASA to CEO of a renowned Silicon Valley communications firm—in this episode, Cole talks with best-selling author Nancy Duarte about her new book, DataStory, and related topics. Tune in to hear about Nancy’s hunt for unicorns, why bridging the chasm between exploration and explanation is good for your career, and the Duarte magic that turned thousands of slides into three simple graphs.
