Many speakers treat facts and figures as the dull part of their presentation — something to “get through” before returning to the more interesting content. But when delivered well, data can be the most compelling, persuasive, and memorable part of your talk.
The key is to bring your numbers to life. Don’t just present them — tell the story behind them. A statistic without context is just a number. But if you relate it to something tangible, visual, or emotional, it suddenly becomes meaningful.
In our presentation skills training at https://www.presenterstudio.com/business-presenter-training/presentation-skills-training we teach you how to wrap facts and figures in narratives that stick. This could mean comparing a number to a real-world object, using a striking visual, or linking it directly to your audience’s experience.
When you treat data as something exciting rather than something to endure, your enthusiasm becomes infectious. Facts and figures aren’t boring — they’re powerful. And when you present them with flair, they can be the highlight of your talk.
