About
StorytellingSolutions creates custom writing and data visualization workshops for business. Led by Rochelle Sharpe, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former staff writer for The Wall Street Journal, the company also offers coaching and editing services. The workshops show professionals how to develop a narrative mindset and use storytelling techniques in their work. Participants learn best practices for incorporating data into prose and visualizations as well as ways to make even the most complicated material simple and understandable. Along the way, they discover easy methods to organize material and how to make writing less painful -- and maybe even fun. Students look at all kinds of writing and data visualizations, studying everything from passages from the Iliad to speeches by Donald Trump. They also participate in multiple short drills to practice what they are learning. Often, they work on their upcoming presentations with the staff.
