    Growing up I was always told I talk too much. At some stage this became an insecurity and many times I found myself “toning down” in order not to be too loud, too talkative, too dominating. Recently as I’ve started understanding my weaknesses and strengths, I’ve gotten clearer about my calling to be a data storyteller – in my career as a data practitioner, providing data insights that inform business decisions and in my community using data from life’s experiences because “stories are just data with a soul.” Join me on Mondays for my new #MotivationMonday series where I use data storytelling in business and in life to hopefully inspire, encourage and move you to use your own story in your own way, wherever you are with whatever you have for the benefit of those around you because “the world needs who you were made to be”
