Experts are poorer communicators in their own domain than nonexperts. MIT Sloan’s Miro Kazakoff offers ways to reverse that curse.

"One of the fundamental things accounting does is create these time frames so we can analyze data and make decisions."
"Would-be data storytellers are coached to anticipate an audience's likely response to analysis."
"Launching a health tech startup and learning how to become an entrepreneur was a key goal of mine for the MBA."
In this program, you’ll learn how to make complex data more understandable, and the importance of presenting with clarity, rather than complexity.
