With 2021 behind us, I'd like to look back on my #dataviz journey in @tableau. This year was a game changer for me at a time when I was getting bored at work and needed a change. So here's what I learned from the few vizzes I managed to put out on @tableaupublic (a thread)

After two long years I've earned my MBA graduation gift to myself. Thanks @HeroicReplicas for creating the perfect motivator for my program!

@theryangeorge @PitchMeetings Here's another beautiful gem from the Twilight Pitch Meetings (my favorite compilation of all time)

My new favorite thing is pausing @theryangeorge videos to catch his expressions. Here's one from the Polar Express @PitchMeetings - my personal favorite pitch meeting

@screenrant @theryangeorge @youtooz Batman Begins. When Screenwriter Guy describes asking his mother for condensed milk, it cracks me up every time

Day by day, it's tempting to sacrifice well-being for success. Pushing past exhaustion brings short-term rewards.

Over time, well-being is vital to success. Daily exhaustion adds up to long-term burnout.

Success can be attained without rest, but it isn't sustained without rest.

@TorontoPearson is this small tub of Nutella allowed in carryon luggage? It fits into a 1 liter bag.

Exhibit A: a smashed truck found while my family was hiking last weekend

Exhibit B: a truck seen in the last episode of Chucky season 1

Verdict: @ChuckyIsReal is filming season 2 ten minutes from my house! I wonder if Chucky will be my friend to the end?

@professorkao @tableaupublic This is exactly what I needed right now!! I did a BUNCH of self-assessment tests for my MBA a couple of weeks ago and it's been killing me that the results are sitting there for the world to see. Now I know I can hide them and my prof can still access it. Thanks @professorkao!!

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

This one hit home for me today. Thought I'd share for anyone else who needs it.

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

This is incredible! I'm constantly amazed at what can be done with Tableau. Great job!

@Visual_Endgame @WJSutton12 @ninjavizlouis @sarahlovesdata This viz is awesome! What a classic game! You've reminded me of yet another 16-bit classic that I need to get for my kids - they've been eating these up lately. Good job, Tina!

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

@professorkao @SprottSchool Lol. You're not wrong :). The worst part is that between IBS and cavities I can't fully enjoy either anymore! Growing up sucks :)

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

I am now an MBA candidate at the @SprottSchool in Ottawa! It'll be an MBA with a concentration in Management and Change, to get me ready for an upcoming career shift. Very exciting stuff!

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

Going back to school in my forties suddenly makes me feel like Homer Simpson. Hopefully I can manage better than he did...

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

@professorkao @SprottSchool Nonprofit management and social works sounds interesting - I almost went down that road years ago. I'd love to make a difference in the world. Currently I just help beer and candy companies make more money - not the best legacy :)

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

@Dean_Sprott @SprottSchool Thank you! I look forward to meeting you as well!

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

@professorkao @SprottSchool Yeah, I'm doing online, part-time so I'll be graduating in 2 years. Really looking forward to getting started!

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

@professorkao @SprottSchool You're kidding!! What do you teach at Carleton? I'm hoping to get up to Ottawa for my grad ceremony, so I'll definitely look you up while I'm there

[Jacob Turner @JacobTurner80]

Now that all my boys have published vizzes on @tableaupublic, they've been properly initiated into the #datafam with @tableau tattoos (barely visible in photos, apparently)

📊New Viz!📊

My youngest, Jimmy (11) made his first viz! It's a Pokedex for Gen 1 Pokemon (Red & Blue)!

Choose a Type, then pick from the list to see each Pokemon's stats and info
