Awesome article. As an NCO, when talking with other NCOs about prepping briefs or PowerPoints and conops, I used to half joke / half seriously tell them officers love pictures. I didn’t realize until earlier this year that I was talking about data, and likely the officers I was referring to didn’t quite know it either. I’ve recently started my own data literacy journey, exploring the depths and relations of excel and powerbi, and using those tools to generate data on things we use in our ait course (I work in a course management office) so we can use that data for resourcing efforts. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the strong compliments. If you or anyone else on your team is looking for an easy excel onboard, add Miss Excel to your Instagram feed. https://www.instagram.com/miss.excel/?hl=en
Of course one should also be reading GOOD writing. My high school teacher Mr. Applegate arranged for us all to have subscriptions to the New Yorker magazine in my senior year of high school because, as he told us, if you want to become a good writer you need to read good writers. I have been a subscriber even since. If the New Yorker isn't your jam, there are several other magazines and journals to which one can subscribe or find at their library and of course....books. Just my two cents.
