what's a skill that's useful in #DataViz no matter what software or tools you use?

@jschwabish and i talked about this recently...
- being a good partner to your SME, e.g. listening, documenting, translating their knowledge, challenging their assumptions and their data...
- cultivating your network so you can collaborate and share skills/resources...
- noticing when you ask a good question that helps move the project forward, and then writing it down to develop your expertise...
- keeping the client focused on the goal of the visualization and meeting your audience at their current level of interest and attention...
what else? here's my full convo w/Jon

if you're stuck in the awful in-between area of your career where you need #DataViz experience......but you can't find a client to pay you for it.....but you also don't want to work for free....
i like the idea of doing a personal project instead....but there are a lot of skills that you learn by working with an actual client....
a great middle ground that i learned from @evergreendata last year is to set aside time in your schedule to do two free things a year that are meaningful to you....
