Data Literacy Is More than a Workplace Skill — and That Changes Everything

You navigate data every day at work. Curiosity in a Data-Filled World makes the case that data literacy is a life skill, not a job skill. We are surrounded by data in every aspect of life, and we use data in decision making without even acknowledging it as data — nutrition labels on food products, GPS data and drive time estimates, new headlines, and much more. Becoming aware of the data that we experience and how we use it — that’s the foundation of true data literacy. That awareness is sometimes elusive.
Data professionals may find it refreshing, even humbling, to experience data from the perspective of the new learner. It's easy to forget how steep the curve looks from the other side. And once you see it, you can't unsee it — which turns out to be a gift.
You will learn:
· Why "data literacy is mostly workplace stuff" is the most consequential misconception in the field — and what we miss by believing it

· How the habits you use at work apply directly to family decisions, civic participation, health choices, and consumer behaviour

· Why confidence is earned, not assumed — and why knowing when
not to trust a number is a literacy skill most of us were never taught

· How curiosity functions as the operating system of data literacy, in every part of life

· How data professionals, with this broader awareness, can become active cultivators of data literacy in the people around them — children, family, friends, and communities
