Making Data Literacy Personal: When Data Visualization and Vulnerability Meet

August 15, 2024

When we introduce Data Literacy at The Data Lodge, we start by learning about the people around us. Connecting first on a human level solidifies the fact that Data Literacy, in fact, is for everyone. We continue the conversation by making Data Literacy personal.

Jade Corley (Tableau Ambassador, Principal Solutions Architect at Chick-fil-A Inc) has done just that through her use of data visualization - both in work and in her own life. When doctors discovered an abnormality in her brain and cerebellum, the personal side of data and sharing information surfaced. As Jade describes it, she used data visualization to process what was happening and "overlaid it with vulnerability".

Join Val and Jade at this complimentary webinar as they discuss an unexpected connection. Come experience data viz at its finest. Take data personally and make data personal for you.

Join two pioneers of the data literacy movement as they share how a community of over 60 data literacy program pioneers have been steadily cracking this code over the past four years. A rare glimpse into the who, how and why of impactful data literacy programs.
