What a wild ride! #IronViz 2023 qualifier ✔️ I 50+ ideas, spent ~3 wks on one and pivoted to this at the last minute. I wish there had been time to put a bird on it, but I'm proud of my choice to finish & submit. #datafam, here's Wingspan! (1/n) Viz: public.tableau.com/app/profile/el…

Data viz/visual analytics leader seeking experienced mentor.  I'm a DVS mentor but need a mentor myself.  I'm a leader at Discover, Chicago TUG, and DVS Chicago but need guidance on where to grow from here.  If you're interested or have suggestions for resources please DM me.

Your book focuses on a major challenge that does not get enough help: how to hiring, manage, and inspire data teams for leaders. There's many resources for folks on our teams to learn new software and tech skills. But leaders of those teams are fewer w less support. #DataFam

Know any resources or a good blog post for how to tell if a developer is experienced vs beginner just by looking at their portfolio/viz content? Like using default Tableau colors/fonts or leaving all the default gridlines turned on, etc. Kevin Wee 黃克文 @ItsElisaDavis.bsky.social #datafam
