Can you use an audio platform to talk about something so visual?
Yes, absolutely.
We host semiweekly sessions on Clubhouse, typically on Tuesdays and Fridays (times vary) and often appear on other stages. Topics center around visualizing data, communicating it to others, and related musings. Randy typically focused on HR & People Strategies and everything related to OKRs. We welcome and encourage audience interaction: join us, ask your questions, and chat! Follow the STORYTELLING WITH DATA and THE HR ROUNDTABLE club for more. Scroll past the form for even more!
