It's been about a month since I wrote my post titled Is It Enough? I was really frustrated because there's so much to learn and I feel like I have so many shortcomings when it comes to data viz. It reminds me of the Situational Leadership II model developed by Ken Blanchard. In it, he describes four types of people. There are the energetic beginners. With their fresh perspective and eagerness to learn, they're like a puppy with a new toy (that's my description, not his). Then there are the disillusioned learners. These folks are overwhelmed and their commitment decreases. There's also the capable, but cautious performer, and the self-reliant achiever. I felt like I was between a D2 and D3 (and you can definitely be a D3 in one specific area and a D1 in another). Here's a little image that a company prettied up about these four types. Side note: if you can, you should totally take this training. It will change your perspective!
At any rate, I just wanted to say thank you! I really, really, REALLY appreciate the comments and the support. Y'all are the best! I'll be sticking around and am energized to work on some exciting projects in 2015. So enough of the typing. I'll finish this post with a message and two simple words.
