Top performing senior and mid-level data people. Either data analysts, data scientists, data engineers, data PMs, or any other job that primarily involves working with data to solve problems.

This course isn't a great fit for junior data people or anyone looking to break into the industry and get their first data job.

It's also not for data leaders - not because you aren't top performing data people, but because being a great data leader is a different job from being a great individual contributor and I can't teach the same content to both groups.

If you have 1-2 people you're managing and still doing IC work that's fine, but if you are a full time manager this program is not for you.

The limiting factor to getting in are the number of spots available in the cohort vs. getting accepted once you apply.

If you are a senior or mid-level employed data person whose company is sponsoring your spot in this program, you will almost certainly be accepted.

The application process is to avoid obvious mistakes where people who are clearly not a good fit join the program. (e.g. people trying to get their first data job)

If you're a data leader, I recommend you only send one person from your team per cohort. There is a benefit to being open about things that are not working which is more difficult when there are other people from your team in the cohort.

The program is designed for senior people with demanding jobs and home lives. The time commitment is 1-2 hours per week, with most content, including recorded coaching calls, available on demand.

Like all programs of this sort - you get out of it what you put into it.

This program is more like a map than a shortcut. Data work is hard, and skill development takes time.

However, compared to wandering aimlessly, a map seems like a magical shortcut. People on the outside will see you achieve things, but won't understand how.

From the inside, there is no trick. Just hard work SMARTLY APPLIED.

Most content is available on demand in the member area. Group coaching calls are at 12pm EST every other Tuesday, and are recorded.

This program has cohorts that start at the beginning of every quarter.

Most participants in the program are sponsored by their company. Here's an email you can send your manager:

Subject: Professional Development Program

Hey {Manager},

I came across this 6-month professional development program designed for high performing data people that focuses on creating more business impact as a data person.

Details are at https://www.topdatapeople.com - it's a combination of a curriculum, coaching, and a community of other data people that go through the program in the same cohort. The goal is that I can immediately apply the lessons I'm learning to my job.

It costs a bit more than going to one of the big vendor conferences, but given it's a six month program, I think it's a good value.

Can we chat about this in our next 1:1?
