Sneak preview:
1. Solve a tech headache 2. Improve your soft skills 3. Give specific career advice 4. Bridge any knowledge gaps 5. Help you meet your goals 6. Offer unbiased insights 7. Hold you accountable
🧠 1) Solve a tech headache:
A recent coaching client of mine, Jenn, was stuck on a specific Tableau formatting issue.
Sure, she could have messed around with Tableau for 2 hours trying to figure it out on her own.
Instead, we got on Zoom session and worked the issue out.
🤝 2) Improve your soft skills:
Top-notch problem-solving skills and communication skills are highly valued.
Demonstrating these skills during an interview is a fantastic way to show you are the best candidate.
A good coach will help you refine and highlight these qualities.
💼 3) Give specific career advice:
If you've been in your role for a while, you may be wondering "what's next?"
Having a coach that knows your career goals can give you specific, practical advice.
Nobody follows the exact same career path. But you don't have to go it alone.
🌉 4) Bridge any knowledge gaps:
Another coaching client of mine, Manda, had burning questions and couldn't find the answers online.
As someone that was just breaking into data analytics, she needed quick answers to deep questions.
45-minute Zoom call later, problem solved!
🎯 5) Help you meet your goals:
Data analysts must have goals for their skillset and career, and a clear path forward.
Unfortunately, life gets in the way and sometimes the path is lost.
A data coach can help you stay on the course to meet your short-term and long-term goals.
💡 6) Offer unbiased insights
Having an outside perspective is incredibly helpful.
Sure, you have your boss and colleagues. But their opinions are "insider views". They know too much!
Instead, a coach offers an outsider's perspective and gives you a chance to vent and explore.
⚓ 7) Hold you accountable
In your data analytics career journey, there will be tough times and things that are scary.
But knowing that someone has your back, and your best interest in mind, will give you the strength to move forward in confidence.
Okay, that's it!
Here's a quick recap on what a data coach can do for you:
