Tory’s recommended top three skills:

  • Data analysis - How can we use data to tell stories that resonate with an audience and prioritize our recommendations based on business impact?

  • Communication - Being able to communicate with multiple stakeholders in the business.

  • Storytelling - Crafting a story to meet your audience's needs and get it to resonate with them.

Heather’s recommended top three skills:

  • Minimal Viable Products (MVP) - Ensure you’re not letting perfection hold you back; releasing things into the world lets you improve.

  • Showcase your work - Constantly communicate what you’ve done to different teams; don’t just get stuck at your desk.

  • Insert yourself - You are in a role where every team’s work impacts your work, so don’t be afraid to step in and understand what teams are doing.
