Power up your Analytics and Data Fluency!
Driving data-driven decisions takes more than technical skills.
My workshops equip data analysts and business professionals with the skills to interpret, translate, and present insights in ways that influence stakeholders and inspire action.
Without these critical skills, even the best data will fail to create real business impact.
“In my 30+ years working in analytics, I’ve seen firsthand that unlocking the true potential of an organisation takes far more than software and technical expertise.
To drive real, data-informed decisions, you need both your analysts and the wider business community to translate, interpret, and present insights clearly and confidently.
The most impactful analysts I’ve worked with have a rare blend of technical ability and soft skills. They don’t just deliver reports, they influence stakeholders, shape strategy, and bring exceptional value to their organisations.
Drawing on decades of experience leading and mentoringing analytics teams, I’ve distilled the key behaviours and practices of exceptional analysts, those who are trusted, respected, and relied upon across the business.
I’d be delighted to help your team and your wider business community to develop these skills. My workshops are flexible and tailored to your needs, so let’s talk about how we can make data truly work for your organisation.”

“I can go away with clear actions to implement in my daily work. I feel much more comfortable to be assertive when dealing with requests from stakeholders. I think that in future I will have a better workload. I could comfortably say no to some requests now.״
Erin Freeman

“Very enjoyable and interesting, whilst also testing our understanding and ensuring the topics covered were relevant to us. Lots of tips that can be applied directly to the work we produce.״
