You don't have to be alone. Being alone sucks.
What do these things all have in common?
The Buddy Bench at elementary school recess.
Networking event at the local Chamber of Commerce
Meetups for board games, hiking, yoga, or book club
Therapists, counselors, and coaches.
Potluck lunches after a religious service.
They exist so we aren’t alone. Or if we are alone, they make sure we don’t have to stay that way.
Because feeling alone sucks.
Yet, you feel this way constantly in our work context.
You wonder:
Are my challenges unique to me?
Does anyone face the same frustrations that I do?
I’m not sure I know what I’m doing. I’m probably the only one.
Who else could understand what I’m going through?
Maybe I’m not cut out for this.
Is this normal?
These are the things I hear from data leaders every week.
You don’t have peers inside your company to talk with. No one who understands both the technical side and strategic side of your work.
What happens when you connect you finally connect with peers?
You no longer feel alone.
Others can empathize with your experiences
You feel more confident about your skills and work.
You know where to go for support when you need it.
You realize you, your challenges, and your frustrations are normal.
The Technical and Strategic Data Leader is built for you.
So you don’t feel alone.
Here’s what a cohort participant from the last session said:
“The biggest value of this experience was connecting with other data leaders that have either been through the things I am currently dealing with or are currently sharing the same struggle”
Community. Confidence. Empathy. Connection.
This is why we are opening up a second cohort for you this summer. For six weeks starting July 16th and ending August 20th, join an intensive learning experience with industry peers.
Registration opens soon. Get on the waitlist now. Seats are limited.
I’m here,
