Welcome back to The Shift Show —the podcast that helps ambitious professionals future-proof their careers and lead confidently in a rapidly changing world. This week kicks off a 2-part mini-series on one of the most misunderstood (and mission-critical) areas of work today: Tech & Data Proficiency. In Part 1, I’m joined by Arindrajit Roy , Lydia Wu , Zack Kikendall —three powerhouse data and technology experts who bring clarity to the chaos of AI, analytics, and digital transformation. We break down: Tech Adaptability: What does it really mean to be tech-savvy in a non-tech role? Data Literacy: How can you make sense of metrics without getting lost in them? We also talk tech fatigue, red flags vs. real trends, and how to sharpen your judgment without drowning in dashboards. If you've ever thought, “I know tech matters, but I don’t know where to start,” or "I'm just not a data person!" this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen now and share it with a friend who’s navigating change in a system-driven world. And don’t forget—Part 2 drops next week, covering AI-informed decision-making and critical thinking.
