    Ep. 26 - Matthew Dicks: How Data Professionals Can Use Storytelling to Influence Business Decisions

    Matthew Dicks is a author of eight books, including one that has really stood out to me—Storyworthy, a fantastic guide on the art of storytelling. In this episode, we’ll dive into storytelling techniques with Matthew, who has won numerous storytelling competitions. One key topic we’ll explore is how you can discover stories from your own life, especially if you’ve ever felt like you don’t have any stories to tell. Matthew will share a clear method to help you unearth those stories and explain why it’s crucial to use personal stories rather than generic ones.
