Joshua Brindley
Hi there! I'm Josh Brindley, your guide in mastering Data Visualization and Storytelling. With years of experience in the data field, I'm currently the Head of Data for a $1B company. Over the years, I've had the privilege of teaching over 45,000 students, leading numerous workshops, and speaking at industry professional associations about the power of data storytelling.
But it wasn't always this way. It took me years to realize that while technical skills are essential, the true magic lies in turning data into compelling stories that drive action. This revelation came as I observed how the top executives I worked with didn't have the technical skills I had, but could transform mundane analysis into narratives that business leaders couldn't ignore.
That's why I created the "Data Visualization and Storytelling Mastery" course. My goal is to share the secrets I've learned, helping you distinguish yourself as a Data Scientist and advance your career. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced data professional, this course dives deep into the principles of good data visualization, providing real-life examples, practical assignments, and pre-made templates to enhance your learning experience.

I bought this course because I took his data visualization one and it was so good. This one is very fine, the teaching style is obviously excellent as with the other, and the information is very well picked, but it suffers from severe audio problems. It is still recommended, because the teaching quality compensates for the technical details, but it's a pitty he overlooked that. Still, this is something worth watching a couple of times and very well recommended, unless your listening skills are not so good being a non-native speaker.

Joshua provides some great insights and tips to keep in mind when planning and crafting dashboards. I appreciate that the content is all platform agnostic, and can be applied regardless of your technical tool of choice. Well-worth the time. Thank you!

Great course! Lots of examples provided in an easy to understand business language without being too technical. Blueprint provided was very helpful to decompose the learning into understandable tasks and get most value from this course. Giving 4 as the sound quality is quite poor, I could barely hear even with the highest volume settings on my PC

The sound is horrible - so low and hard to hear. The subtitles not in sync with the sound (different content). The content was repetitive and sometimes I zoned out. I wish we had more real-life examples. If you are in UX field some content may seem like obvious and you already know.
By Edna Rolnick on 3/18/2023
The course is very good main to issues that can be better is quality of sound sometimes it is very low and also there's a lot of repetition some times it feels too much the idea was already clear. Other than that the course is very good and I'm pleased.

I took Joshua Brindley's data storytelling course. I am hoping this course will be just as helpful. He delivers the right content in understandable ways.
By Sirin Gurkan on 1/26/2022
Good only for summary of fundemantals. But there is too much talk, too little examples and tips. It is ironic that in a lecture for dashboards, you see mostly powerpoint slights and the face of the presantor but only a few dashboards. There is also no dashboard with real data in the whole lecture.
By John Burton on 1/1/2022
Very good course filled with excellent information! I’m definitely learning a lot of concepts that will be useful as I design dashboards for different use cases. The one minor criticism I have is that the dashboards shown are too simple. I would have liked to see more real-world dashboard examples which (from my experience) are often far more complex. But a great course to learn high-level concepts and the instructor is excellent at explaining things in a easy to understand manner.

Amazing Content. The only issues I can point are some missing resource content and the lack of audio quality/clarity/volume on all videos but the Bonus - Case Studies. If you plan to use speakers for this course BEWARE the audio quality. I've tried on my big PC speakers and Smartphone, any speed above 1.25x becomes unintelligible.
By Vishnuvarshan P on 8/23/2021
Very much rich content. This course is very much clear and explains each and every aspect to create effective dashboards. Really liked the course.
