🧠 Data is Everywhere—But Can You Read It?

DoorDash sold $21.3 billion in Q4 2024. Sounds impressive, right?

But here’s the real question: How much of that became profit?

Without data literacy, numbers like these are just... numbers.

With it, you can see the story behind the data.

Take this visualization below. 👇

In just a glance, you notice:

🔎 Only $117M in operating profit from $21.3B in sales
📉 The biggest cost drains (hello, $541M on Sales & Marketing)
💡 How revenue trickles down through expenses

This is data literacy in action—the skill of not just looking at data but understanding what it means.

In today’s data-driven world, that’s no longer optional.

👉 Want to strengthen your data literacy skills? Our next Data Literacy Cohort starts March 10th!

Spots are limited—let’s make sure you can read between the numbers. 🔢

Did it make a difference?

Sometimes when we embark on something new, we’re not sure what the results may be.

Sure, we have hopes and wishes for the outcome, but we really don’t know until we finish what we started.

Education in particular can be challenging when deciding on and realizing positive, tangible outcomes.

If you're learning something new, here are a few ways to get a clearer picture of your progress:

1. Remember where you started: What's one thing you know now that you didn't know when you first started? Anything you've learned (big or small) is valuable. 💡

2. Note small wins along the way: Celebrate and document your success. 🎉

3. Get a different perspective: Ask a friend or colleague who's witnessed your journey give feedback on how they've seen you grow. 😎

What are some other ways YOU measure growth? 📈

🌟 But they didn’t HAVE to do it! 🌟

Recently, one of our Statistics.com team members completed training with Credly by Pearson and earned a digital badge! 🥇
This was not a job requirement, they just did it. Why would they do that? 🤔

As someone who believes in the power of continuous learning, they found their recent experience with Credly both inspiring and enlightening. The training not only introduced them to the many possibilities of the platform but also opened their eyes to new ways we can celebrate students and their achievements.

Throughout the training, they were impressed by how Credly transforms traditional recognition into a digital celebration of skills. By empowering learners to share their achievements online, they can showcase their capabilities and progress to a broader audience.

It's a win-win situation for learners and employers! 🎉

Their journey can remind us of the value of staying curious and seeking out opportunities to grow. Every new skill learned is a step forward in our personal and professional development. It's important to not only celebrate milestones but also to keep pushing our boundaries.

If you're interested in discovering the potential of digital badges and celebrating learning, let's connect and explore how we can make a positive impact together! 🚀
