My boss told me my quarterly reports were 'just data, not a story' during my review last month.

I started adding a single summary slide with the three biggest impacts before the charts, and now the leadership team actually reads them, so what's one piece of work feedback that actually made you change your routine?

Honestly that feedback sounds pretty useful to me. I mean turning data into a story is a basic skill, maybe your boss was just trying to help.

Used to roll my eyes at that advice but you're right, it's actually useful.

Agree with @cameronmurray that it's a basic skill, but bosses often forget to explain how (like using a simple before-and-after slide).
