Best Practices

Do's

  • Start with the "so what" - Lead with insight
  • Use the rule of three - Three points, three comparisons
  • Show, don't tell - Let data speak
  • Make it personal - Connect to audience goals
  • End with action - Clear next steps

Don'ts

  • Don't data dump - Curate ruthlessly
  • Don't bury the insight - Front-load key findings
  • Don't use jargon - Match audience vocabulary
  • Don't show methodology first - Context, then method
  • Don't forget the narrative - Numbers need meaning
