About Bill

I teach data storytelling and visualization to learners around the world. And I lead private workshops for organizations including US government agencies, Fortune 100 brands, and global NGOs. I also have 10+ courses on LinkedIn Learning and taught at the University of Vermont. Reach out to get help approaching data with a new perspective, and communicate with it more strategically, with greater impact. I also teach and coach on related topics like public speaking and stakeholder engagement.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I've spent my entire career learning a few fundamental ways of communicating for impact, and have done a lot of discovery of important research and best practices along the way. I love teaching and coaching because I love seeing the spark in someone's eyes when they learn a new way of seeing the world and accomplishing things that they've never experienced before. And I know the types of changes to recommend that can deliver immediate AND long-lasting results.
