Many good books (Storytelling with Data by Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic and DataStory: Explain Data and Inspire Action Through Story by Nancy Duarte) covers this topic of telling stories with data. Getting the work done is only part of the journey. Your work should also be your channel to show to the world.
