Throwback to the first ever Lagos @getdbt meetup this year.
Another meetup coming up soon.
Get ready!

[Young Data Professionals @YoungDataPro]

Motivation is a feeling; discipline is a habit.

There will be days when the data doesn’t make sense, code breaks, or your energy hits a wall.

But the secret to a successful data career isn't constant inspiration—it’s consistency.

On World Creativity and Innovation Day, we highlight the role of data professionals in shaping innovative solutions. Creativity, alongside technical skill, is what sets great professionals apart.

[Young Data Professionals @YoungDataPro]

The takeaway:
It’s not enough to know how to work with data.
You need to understand how data works for the business.

What are your thoughts on this?

[Young Data Professionals @YoungDataPro]

Most data professionals are focusing on the wrong thing and it’s holding them back

We’ve been told that data creates value. That if you learn the tools, build dashboards, and run analyses you’re doing the job.

[Young Data Professionals @YoungDataPro]

Because the truth is, being technically strong is no longer enough. If you can’t connect your work to how value is created and captured, you risk becoming very good at things that don’t move the business forward.
