The devil is in the detail!

When presenting data, either in a big meeting or 1-on-1, you need to know how to make it attractive to your audience. Charts, graphs, and diagrams can help you cope with this task, however it can be a dilemma over which chart or graph to use and then what words to describe it!

This kind of visual content helps your audience see what you are talking about but it is so much more than the image itself. The way you explain that visual image can make the difference between someone understanding clearly, getting totally confused, or even worse, totally bored! That’s why it’s so important to understand which chart or graph is for which purpose and how to describe them correctly. 

Why do you need to use charts, graphs, and diagrams?

Obviously we are talking about data and numbers here, which can be quite boring but also very important in business. So, you need to create an effective combination of essential business presentation phrases, with charts, graphs, and diagrams to help you draw out the important points and keep the attention of your listeners.

The trick is to present and explain at least the main points, such as key trends, making a comparison, or showing relationships between two or more items.
