you only use data to drive every decision sometimes you lose sight of the heart of a project or company.

Using data is incredibly powerful - But there’s something to be said about using that gut feeling and intuition too.

I'm thinking about writing another song on Jobs/Data - anyone have any suggestions on what to write about?

This was one I wrote a long time ago and put out there :D

Over the years I've learned that Communication is one of my most powerful skills - especially as an Introvert (which I definitely am).

It's helped me land Interviews, Jobs, Contracts, Customers, and Opportunities that I would never had the chance to get.

If I only had Technical skills I would not have made it this far.

I wasn't always good at communicating though. I used to bomb interviews and fail presentations, but I started improving and getting better - because it's a skill that can be learned.

Here are some of my Biggest tips on how to be a better Communicator:
1. Active Listening is Crucial
Instead of thinking about what you’ll say next, really listen. Ask follow-up questions and show the other person you value what they’re saying.

2. Smile and Be Positive
Your energy sets the tone. Positivity makes people more open, more engaged, and more likely to remember the conversation in a good way. Most people like working and talking with happy/positive people.

3. Fake it Till You Make it
I don't care what anyone says - I definitely faked it at first. I am not a confident outgoing extrovert that is just good at everything. Confidence comes with practice. Even if you don’t feel it yet, acting confident helps you grow into it over time.

Data is incredibly difficult to work with end to end.

No one person can do it all.

I used to think a “data expert” could do it all: Collect the data - Clean it - Model it - Store it - Visualize it.

Then I started working on real projects at work. The truth is that no one person can do every part of the process - especially not at scale - even with AI.

Data is complex, filled with nuance and industry expertise that takes years or even decades to learn well.

Ever since I was young all I wanted was to have a family. I didn't have big career goals, but I always knew I wanted to be a husband and a father.

Yesterday I was in the backyard with my family eating ice cream.

I looked around and I was living the very life I always wanted. I told them that - that this very moment was a dream come true.

Life happens fast. Take a look around and see where life has taken you. A lot of things you have are things you once wished for and worked hard for.

The first time I saw Git and GitHub, I was completely lost.

No one had ever taught me version control!

This course is designed specifically for Data Professionals who want to:

- Learn how to use Version Control in their real work
- Use Git and GitHub at work
- Finally stop being intimidated by Git commands

90% of Data Analysts get this simple question on Percentages wrong.

Why?

Because it's so simple it's almost confusing. I've also found most people find percentages tough.

Give it a try and see if you can get it right on your first try:
