Sound FAMILIAR?
- You want to start using data for your business, and you don’t have a tool, knowledge, or experience
- You’re on a budget: You want to understand the value of your data and get started but don’t have a million dollars to pay consultants to build you the latest data lake house air balloon thing that will take approximately 47 years to build into production
- The last thing you’re interested in doing is trying to stay awake while you read those tech books and watch those youtube videos to learn how to use data yourself
- You’re ready to start learning how to work with data, and you want to let it be easy
If You Aren’t Leveraging the Power and Speed of Data and Analytics: Prepare to Be Left Behind.
In a world where change and complexity are rapidly accelerating, it’s no longer just a competitive advantage to use data and analytics.
It’s a necessity.
Customers don’t have a few choices anymore – they have countless. It’s imperative that you stand out from the rest – and your business depends on it.
How can you stand out?
You can be faster.
You can be easier to work with
You can be more fun to buy from
Your service can care more
Your offerings can be more compelling and unique
As a business owner, your time is more in demand than ever, and yet there’s no time to focus on these big things, right?
When you don’t have time to focus on the big stuff, it’s a sign that you need better tools – not more time.
Imagine the dashboards in your car – they keep a pulse on and communicate the most critical pieces of information about your car in one place, so you don’t have to do a manual and soul sucking 50 point inspection every time you want to drive to Target.
Data dashboards serve the exact same function as vehicle dashboards – but for your business.
In an age where data can tell you 938 things about your business, dashboards are that one place where you can see what’s critical to your business, right now.
And you know what you can do with all the insight and time you get back from using a powerful tool like dashboards? You can focus on standing out and other big things!
But who has the money, resources, and time to learn the traditional ways?
Be the Data Hero Is Pioneering an Easier Way to Understand, Use, and Unlock the Value of Your Data.
introducing...
Unlock the power of your data without waiting on your tech team, or paying expensive consultants.
Data to dashbaords IN 1 WEEK HAS 3 GOALS:
1. Teach you a time (and sanity) saving end to end framework for turning data into dashboards: You’re busy, and you need insight yesterday. This course will be fluff free, and will teach you a proprietary framework developed over years as a consultant – optimized to save time and sanity AND able to be repeated anytime you have new data you’d like to dashboard.
2. Showing you how to build impactful dashboards, with simplicity (no skills, tools, or data needed to start): This class is meant to show you the basics, and set you off on your data and dashboarding journey! I will show you how to build easy, time tested starter dashboards and give you resources to grow your abilities.
THE SECRET?
The Dashboard Hero Framework
The Dashboard Hero Framework is a proprietary and repeatable method I’ve built throughout my career as a consultant to go from dataset to dashboard quickly with clients, and my time tested method of fast dashboard creation!
The beauty of this framework, is that it’s optimized to cut to the chase, and get max results with minimal effort and time
. Save all that effort and time for relaxing with your favorite hobbies, people, and animals, instead 😎
- Designed for complete beginners: no experience, tools, or data needed to start! I'll get you access to a tool, data, and I'll teach you the skills you need!
- A start to finish process you can use over and over again as your skills grow (and save immense time and headache figuring everything out yourself)
- Designed for busy business people to get results with their data quickly
- Pulls double duty of teaching you about data as you progress
- Save lots of moo-lah on expensive consultants by building your basic dashboards yourself
Skip the complex, time draining, un-necessary things that are barriers to progress (or even starting):
- Complex and unnecessary jargon and tech speak
- Complicated tool setups (complication totally optional)
- Having to cobble together a process for taking your data and getting to a dashboard yourself (this is usually the longest and hardest part)
- Figuring out how to navigate a new tool AND learn how to create a dashboard 😵
HERE'S THE THING:
How many times have you settled for the crappy reports that come with your systems, or been forced to wait for an eternity for IT to help you get answers to the most basic questions to ever exist about your data?
How many spreadsheets are you manually piecing together to get your answers and make the decisions that matter in your business?
I’ve been saying for the last 10 years that it shouldn’t be this hard for people to understand and use data and now I’m making that a reality.
Here and now!
This course is the door to self reliance that’s easy to learn and repeatable to use as your skills grow. Buying this course will be like buying a week with me (but WAAAAAAAY cheaper)!
And bonus: you’re able to re-visit our time together whenever you have burning questions, when priorities need to shift, when you need to understand, and when you want to explore.
There’s tremendous value in your data – that will transform your ability to grow, innovate, and thrive (all powered by your dashboards!)

THE DEETS
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
Data to Dashboards is taught in an online classroom where you’ll learn how to build dashboards from start to finish.
All materials are taught via asynchronous learning: you can log in and access each day’s content and learn on your own schedule, making it convenient for you wherever you are in the world.
Every morning, a new day’s lessons and content are released and will be available in your account!
There are supporting PDF’s that contain templates, worksheets, and a copy of the daily presentation that can be downloaded and printed at your convenience.
There will also be a catchup and integration day in the middle of the 7 days to ensure you don’t feel rushed!
This is self-led and doesn’t need to be completed in 1 week.
You can go at your own pace, especially if things get busy!
BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, YOU COULD BE:
- On vacation and completely at ease because you know exactly what’s happening with your business (thanks to the metrics you’ve been able to track on your dashboards)
- On track to double or triple revenue from the insights gained, time saved, and new ideas from your data and dashbaords
- Thrilled that you were able to save immense time and money by reducing redundant costs and cycle time - insights you were able to get from your dashboard!
- Excited to keep growing and innovating - and confident you can track success with you dashboarding skills
In case you’re unsure, or having doubts:
- You don’t need any data or technical knowledge whatsoever to take this program and find success.
- You don’t need to have attended any kind of technical program to build a dashboard
- You don’t need years of data to get started
- You don’t need to already know your questions and metrics - I can help you figure that out as you go
Worried you can’t do this? I guarantee you can - or your money back
I’m so committed to ensuring this course is easy to learn and get results – that I hired my kids to beta test the content – and not only make dashboards by following along- but by making dashboards from scratch with new datasets that they found themselves.
It’s one thing to be able to follow along – and it’s whole other ball game to be able to build a dashboard on your own. I wanted to be absolutely sure that anyone can learn this if they show up, hit play, and follow along with me.
My kids are 11 and 14 – and the images you see are the dashboards they created from scratch with datasets they found online.

I doubt you’ll get much from this class- unless you’re looking for an end-to-end process that you can use.
I’d budget about an hour for each day.
Nope! While you’re welcome to use a tool that you’re familiar with, I’ll be using a totally free tool that you can download and follow along with!
That’s ok! You don’t need data! I have public datasets I’ll be using to teach you and show you the process and you can use my datasets to follow along. I also know all the good places to find high quality datasets that I’ll be sharing with you!
Finally – I’ll show you how you can get started with getting data out of your current systems for when you’re ready to use your own data.
Yup! You sure can! However – you will need to take responsibility for figuring out how to create any specific designs and charts I create in the videos. If it becomes too tedious to figure out, you may want to download the free tool to follow along with, and then revisit how to do it in your tool once you have an understanding of the concepts.
