a powerful pause for better data storytelling

What if a simple pause could transform your work? In the latest episode of the storytelling with data podcast, I explore the power of intentional pauses—statio—and how they can improve the way we analyze and communicate data.

The idea behind statio is simple: take a moment to pause during transitions to reflect and ensure your next step is intentional. Whether you’re about to dive into an analysis, visualize your data, or prepare to present, a deliberate pause can lead to sharper focus, creative breakthroughs, and more impactful results. For example, you might integrate statio into your workflow by:

  • Asking smart questions when you're first assigned a project

  • Taking strategic breaks during analysis to avoid tunnel vision

  • Refining your visualizations and slides to align with your story

  • Preparing to present with clarity and confidence

This is more than a productivity hack; it’s a mindset shift that can elevate your work and make your stories more effective.

Ready to reflect and refine? Listen to the episode below and discover how small, intentional moments can lead to major improvements. Let me know how you practice statio in the comments or on social media.
