When you’re close to data you’re a very valuable commodity and you’re going to be asked to present your information, to give insights.

Show Highlights


Some of the highlights of this episode include:

* YOU are your presentation.  Whatever tools you use to support your presentation should do just that - support it.  Not detract from it, or act as a script.  Focus on your presentation - the best presentations are where speakers are charismatic and engaging, whether they have visuals or not.
* Analysts can add great value to clients by clarifying what their objectives are up front, clarifying outcomes, then finding out how the data can serve those outcomes.
* The best way to add value to your audience is to listen to what they need and are looking for!
* Preparation is key for all presentations.  Practice one more time than you have already practiced!
* It is like a tiny shackle coming off every time you document one of your processes.

YOU are your presentation not your slides.

The Buzz - Our Innovation Round


Here are Lea's answers to the questions of our Innovation round. Listen to the interview to get the full scoop.

* #1 thing to be more innovative – Be unique and stand out, especially if you are in a competitive niche. For me, having fun and being myself, being my authentic self while standing on top of the experience that I have has been a great way to stand out.
* Best thing for new ideas – Talk to your audience and make sure whatever you create is something they want.
* Favourite tool for innovation – Remember the Milk task manager - helps me with planning.
* Keep project / client on track – Up front, during the on-boarding process, establish clear check-points.
* Differentiate – Determine that unique thing you bring to the table within your service or product.
