The room is full. The projector is on. You have ninety seconds before the audience decides if you're worth listening to — and your opening line will make that decision for them.
Data without story is noise. You're weaving numbers into a narrative that makes the audience feel the problem before they see the solution — turning spreadsheets into something they'll remember.
A hand goes up and the question is designed to trip you. You don't have a rehearsed answer for this one. Every eye in the room shifts to you, waiting.
