Knowledge is power and data the key to unlocking it. In my heart I knew this to be true but was working for an employer that couldn`t provide data my team needed to pursue excellence. AS a result, I embraced "Fake it till you make it" and took it upon myself to figure it out. I successfully created a data driven coaching program that used very basic Excel skills to distil, format, and present Oracle data to my peers in a way that presented their own historical data in a useful manner and guided them to real-world changes in habit. No longer did they have to suffer through anecdotal evidence that they didn`t feel pertained to them. With the program a raging success, I have fallen in love with data and am passionate about formally learning how to wield its power in future opportunities. I can only imagine... but not for long! ©
