Why should you choose Finding Stories?
We believe there are three core reasons why you should work with us...
Our Experience
Our courses are led by Ross Durston, who has cultivated a successful 20+ year career in Data and Research related roles.
Ross has a wealth of experience delivering courses to teams of all different backgrounds, levels of seniority and industries and he uses all of this experience to share stories and advice on how to improve your own data storytelling capabilities.
Our Content
Our content is designed to be informative, thought provoking and immediately relevant and applicable when you return to your desks.
The courses include plenty of examples and exercises to help embed the learnings, and we focus (importantly in our opinion) on having fun during the sessions too, because no one wants to sit in a boring training session!
Our Flexibility
We offer a range of 'off the shelf' training courses to meet your requirements, but we are happy to change and add content that suits your particular needs.
All of the courses are also designed to link to each other, so if you want a complete pathway to storytelling excellence, then we're happy to 'bundle' courses together into a structured programme.
Meet Ross....
I'm Ross Durston, founder of Finding Stories.
Having worked in Data for over 20 years at leading companies such as Tesco, P&O Cruises, Nectar and Gopuff, I've built extensive experience in the fields of Data, Analytics, Business Intelligence and Consumer Research.
Now, although I would today call myself an expert in Data Storytelling, Visualisation and Communication, it wasn't always that way. Today I'm proud to call myself an introvert, but previously this was a significant barrier to my career success. But through the coaching from others, finding my own style and by increasing my confidence through practice and feedback, everything changed and now my motivation lies in helping others on this journey too.
Through my empathy, experience and passion, I'm in the unique position to utilise my skillset to help train others deliver impact where it is needed most for you and your organisation. I'd love to work with you to make this happen.
