The best way to succeed in data is to become a really really good data person
In weekly video lessons, this program covers various skills, best practices, mindsets, and common pitfalls that can be immediately applied to your job
We also cover common skill and experience gaps that make you less impactful and can stall your career growth
You can see more specific topics in the "What You Learn" section below
In group coaching sessions every two weeks, you can get direct advice on how to immediately apply the lessons you learn in your job
You will learn from the experiences of others as they face their own issues and challenges
Coaching calls are scheduled for 12pm EST every other Tuesday,
No data person succeeds alone
You'll develop a network of other Top Data People
You'll have a support group of other data people who can help you figure out
My name is Solomon Kahn, and I've gone from being the single "data person" to leading large data teams at multiple companies.
I led a 100 person data team at Nielsen, led data at small and unicorn startups, and consulted on data product development at multiple Fortune 50 companies.
I've seen for myself, and the hundreds of data people who reported up to me, what top data people do differently. I've put this program together to help you learn all the same skills.
Gone from the single data person to managing 100+ person team
Seen for myself and hundreds of other data people what works and doesn't
Former team members have gone on to wildly successful careers in senior IC roles as well as managing large teams
How to objectively measure your career the way a CDO would
Identifying strengths and development opportunities that actually make a difference, in a world where you can learn many things that don't matter and still not move your career forward
Key development milestones for moving up the ranks as a data analyst, scientist, engineer, and PM.
How to succeed as a very senior IC or transition to manager
How to move across data jobs - (e.g. from analyst to scientist, or scientist to engineer)
How to identify and take advantage of development opportunities you get as a data person inside your company that most don't even notice
Choosing your own adventure, and enjoying the ride
I believe that Top Data People are great at five foundational data skills:
Strong Mental Models
Deep Technical skills
Executive-level Relationship Building & Communication
Active, Supportive and Opportunistic Approach
Data, Stakeholder, and Project Management
We cover these skills in depth with strategies and tactics to help you improve
Improving these skills will help you immediately be more effective at your job
How do top data people operate differently than typical data people?
What are the key mindsets Top Data People have that create a disproportionate impact on their success?
What are the most damaging pitfalls to data people?
How can you avoid damaging YOUR business and career by staying away from them?
Data careers are far less defined than most other types of careers, and there are many skills you need to thrive in that type of environment
We go over networking, developing technical skills, working with senior people, building business acumen, developing industry expertise, having difficult conversations, how to move up the ranks and more...
We cover these skills specifically in ways that are applicable to data people because there are many ways that these generic skills can be tailored for data people to be far more effective
This program is risk-free for the first 30 days. If it's not a great fit, for any reason, you can get a full refund.
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.
If you're a junior data person, focus on learning and experiencing on the job for a bit, and then this course will be a better fit.
If you're looking to break into data, I put all my best advice into a free course that you can find here.
If you would like your team to improve their abilities to drive more business impact with data, then yes, this is a great fit.
This course will help you become a Top Data Person - as judged by your manager, other senior executives, and your peers.
This will have an immediate and material impact on your career.
You Will:
-- Avoid painful mistakes that hold back your growth.
-- Gain a clear understanding of the next key milestones for your career development.
-- Develop the skills necessary to take advantage of the opportunities right in front of you that most data people miss.
In every career field, the benefits go disproportionately to the top people, and this course is designed to help you become one of those people.
If you're totally lost and don't even know if you want to stay in data, this course probably isn't for you.
If you have a general sense of where you want to go but aren't sure about the specifics, this course is perfect, because you will learn to build career optionality.
Most top data people haven't been able to exactly plan out their careers. The data industry has evolved too quickly.
However, through excellent work, they were able to create career optionality, which let them take advantage of opportunities and grow their careers.
When you're a top data person, even if you don't know exactly what you want to do next, you've got many good options to choose from.
If you don't create that optionality, you might find yourself in a tough career situation with very few good options available.
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.
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 over many years.
I'm not sure how far away you are from your goals, but I'm confident this program will give you a clear path to achieve them, and equip you with the tools and skills necessary to execute on your vision.
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 rolling admissions. You can join anytime and you will be a member of the program for 6 months.
Most companies will pay for all or part of this program. Here's an email you can send your manager:

Subject: Professional Development Opportunity
Hey {Manager}, do we have any budget for professional development programs?
I'm interested in taking a 6-month professional development program designed for senior and mid-level data people that focuses on how to drive more business impact as a data person.
It's a combination of a curriculum, group coaching, and a community of other data people looking to improve their skills.
Details are at https://www.topdatapeople.com, and total cost is $2,500. It's on the low end of what it would cost to go to a data conference.
