Visual storytelling where design meets strategy.
Get StartedYou’ve done the hard work of developing your narrative. But when it’s time to build your presentation, something gets lost in translation. Too often, professionals grab a template and start picking visuals without a clear story driving those choices. The result? Presentations jammed with text, messages that are vague or confusing, and data that hits like an avalanche.
When visuals undermine rather than reinforce your message, your valuable work goes unrecognized, decision-making stalls, and your credibility takes a hit. In today’s workplace, that’s a risk your career can’t afford.
Influencing with Visuals gives you a practical visual story strategy that makes the critical connection between your story, your visuals, your data, and your audience, every time.
The numbers are hard to ignore. According to molecular biologist John Medina, hear a piece of information and three days later you’ll remember 10% of it. Add a picture and you’ll remember 65%.
That’s the power of visual storytelling. But visuals alone aren’t enough. Without a clear narrative driving your visual choices, even the most beautifully designed presentation can fall flat. A story first, visuals second mindset is what separates communications that get remembered and acted on from those that get forgotten the moment the meeting ends.
Crafting Strategic Visual Stories is a prerequisite for this course. Why? Because narrative and visuals are inseparable. This visual storytelling course is designed to pick up where Crafting Strategic Visual Stories leaves off, building directly on the narrative foundation you’ve already developed.
Build a tailored visual story strategy
Develop a visual approach that accounts for your audience’s unique characteristics, how they think, and what they need to see to ensure every visual choice is intentional.
Map the narrative and visual flow
Lay out how your story and visuals work together before a single slide gets built, saving time and getting everyone on the same page quickly.
Pressure test your story
Use guided coaching prompts to ensure your headlines and visuals are working hard before they reach key stakeholders.
Maximize your visual impact
Apply basic design principles to transform text-heavy or data-dense slides into clear, compelling visuals that inspire action.
Jumpstart your design thinking
Draw on real-world examples and visual inspiration to make creative, purposeful design decisions with confidence.
