- All of us are the same
in that we are scared to start something new.
It's natural. It's part of being human.
And for me, I just say yes.
I jump in, and the community has been fabulous
in just welcoming me and supporting me
and giving me an opportunity to lift other people up too.
- Your experience and your knowledge
and your perspective can help countless people
that you don't even realize yet.
- There's no benefit in doing career alone.
It's good when you do with people, with community,
and data community
is one of the best communities you can actually join.
- All these blogs and books I've been reading
and actually seeing those people in person
and being able to talk to them,
getting inspired from them, and learning from them,
I think that is what inspired me
to be part of the community.
- That there's room for you, and just, yeah, come on in.
- Go and find one group
where you can go and help and be helped.
I think that's the spirit of the community.
Go and be there.
Go and be there for someone else.
- Being in the community
for the last few years has helped me grow professionally
as well as personally.
- The data community had a very large impact
on my professional development
because it was there every step of the way.
I've gone from novice to citizen developer to super user,
and today, I am a Fabric administrator
and technical lead for a global organization.
- Because the tools have gotten so much better,
so much easier to use,
between Power BI's advancements and Fabric coming out,
everybody needs help with this,
and so I feel like I've become
part of a much greater community now
because of these tools.
- When you run into a brick wall,
ask the community for help.
Take those first steps, venture into new spaces,
and we're happy to help you deliver on more.
