Statisticians and data scientists positively impact many people, organizations, and governments through the careful collection, analysis, and interpretation of data to solve problems and make decisions. To maximize their impact, statisticians and data scientists must effectively collaborate with a variety of domain experts who originate the data or the problems to be solved. In this short course, participants will learn and practice essential skills to improve their professional communication and collaboration to increase their effectiveness on the job. Specifically, participants will learn how to establish foundational collaborative relationships with domain experts; structure effective meetings; and effectively communicate with non-statisticians. Participants will also practice their newly acquired skills and learn how to improve their proficiency in these essential collaboration skills by using role-plays and video coaching and feedback reviews outside of this short course. In sum, participants will learn and practice how to leverage their technical skills to more effectively collaborate for maximal impact inside and outside of their organizations.
