CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR BOOTCAMP #18 GRADUATES ON EARNING THEIR DATA LITERACY PROGRAM LEAD CERTIFICATION! My favorite days at the Lodge are those when I am able to officially certify our latest group of Campers on their Data Literacy Program Lead Certification! Please join me in congratulating this stellar group of pioneers: - Michelle Andersen, from Paychex - Jill Martin, from Paychex - Stephanie G., from the State of Maryland - Mark Yujuico (yu-WE-co), from The Friedkin Group Over 10 weeks of cumulative development within our Cohort Bootcamp, each Camper completes the following to earn certification: - their Data Literacy Program Case for Change - their Data Literacy Program Blueprint and Plan, and - successful facilitation of their two hour pilot Exploring Data Literacy Workshop with stakeholders in their organization (without any member of The Data Lodge there... the real test of a train-the-trainer model!) This cohort was exceptional- taking this work seriously, personally and making it matter for the leaders, managers and front-line associates of their incredible organizations. While this is just the beginning of this culture and workforce development journey for each of them, their colleagues and those they will reach with this work, there is no question that they care deeply about intentionally fostering lasting change with attention to the mindsets, language and skills that serve as the basis of data and AI literacy at scale. A BIG THANK YOU to each of you, your Sponsors, and your "huddle group" team members (who shadowed the experience each week with you) for your willingness to pioneer this work, to go first with grit and creativity, and to trust Veronica Vilski, Maggie Callaghan and I with your journey. We are thrilled to continue to support you, along with your TDL Community Members (now over 95+ members!), as you rollout and scale your program. Cheers to each of you- I couldn't be more proud to have watched your incredible journey bringing this work to your organizations! Onward!

THIS THURSDAY- I'll share a very personal story. Many years ago, I had a rare health diagnosis and candidly, it was scary. It was a time when doing a quick search on the internet was not the norm, nor were support communities, and this was life-changing. It's rare that I talk about this, but when I recently met Jade Corley during my #dataliteracy travels, and heard her share her story with such vulnerability, I was inspired to share too. Join us Thursday for our monthly webinar at THE DATA LODGE [a DSG company]. It's a personal one- where Jade and I will both share our stories, and how the access to data, insights and the use of data visualization made all the difference. At the Lodge, we always say that the way to crack the data culture code is to make it personal. So, we will. #speakingdata #makingitpersonal #informationasasecondlanguage Data Society Group Register here to join live or catch the replay:
