Storytelling is a great skill to learn for all Data Scientists


What is Storytelling with Data ?

"People hear statistics, but they feel stories" - Brent Dykes  

Storytelling with data is the ability to describe numbers and stats in order to effectively communicate and deliver the business insights from data tailored to a specific audience, with a compelling narrative.

Still complex to understand? Let me tell you, that's ok. We humans aren’t naturally good at understanding numbers unless they are explained with a bit of context.

For example, when someone says "The task is almost done" vs when someone says "The task is 90% completed". The second one makes much more sense than the previous one.

Let's take one more example. "A student who scored 21 in Maths" may sound like the worst performance vs "A student scored 21 out of 30 and positioned the second topper" would completely change the context towards great performance isn't it?
