After 9 episodes of dashboards, frustrations, and very human problems, here's the question I've never answered: why do I keep doing this?

People analytics isn't about being a yes-person. It's about being an internal consultant who asks uncomfortable questions. What's the business problem? Is there even a problem? How does this relate to strategy?

Here's the truth: the soft skills matter more than the sophisticated analyses. You can know every statistical technique, but if you can't translate findings into business language, none of it matters.

But when you uncover that insight that changes how someone thinks about their team? When you provide data that improves someone's working life? That's worth all the frustration.

Every piece of data represents a person. Every insight has the potential to make work better.

Start with the why. The technical skills can be learned. The curiosity and empathy? That's what makes you successful.

Thank you for Season 1. Season 2 is coming.

Keep asking questions.

Keep being curious.
