Data alone doesn’t drive decisions - clear communication does
If your audience doesn’t know what to do, your data has failed
Start with the audience and the action, not the analysis
Use storytelling to create tension, clarity, and direction
AI can accelerate workflows - but human judgment remains critical
D36 Dashboards don't drive decisions, people do!
Saturday, April 4, 2026 • Duration 59:32
Summary
Are your dashboards actually driving decisions? Or are they beautifully built artefacts that nobody uses? In this episode of unDUBBED, Sarah and Fiona sit down with two of the most respected voices in data communication to tackle one of the industry's most uncomfortable questions: do dashboards actually work?
Amanda Makulec is a data visualisation leader with 15 years of experience and a founding board member and former executive director of the Data Visualisation Society. Andy Cotgreave spent 20 years in data and analytics, 15 of them at Tableau, before co-founding How to Speak Data. Together they co-host Chart Chat - so yes, they have opinions.
The conversation digs into the discovery and prototyping work that must happen before anyone opens a tool, the difference between story finding and storytelling, and why reducing friction often beats adding features. They also get into AI's messy, exhilarating, and frankly terrifying impact on data work.
Whether you build dashboards, manage a team that does, or quietly suspect nobody reads your reports - this one's for you. Amanda and Andy are also co-authors of the Big Book of Dashboards and Dashboards That Deliver.
Takeaways
71% of people surveyed said most dashboards fail - but did you ever define what success looked like in the first place?
The most common mistake is diving into building before understanding what users actually need - discovery and prototyping must come before development.
Dashboards don't drive decisions, people do - the real value of data happens in the conversations it sparks, not the charts themselves.
Reducing friction is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make - data needs to meet people where they already work.
Story finding and storytelling are completely different design paradigms - conflating them is one of the most costly mistakes in data communication.
Pretty data that turns out to be wrong destroys trust faster than almost anything - and AI makes this risk higher, not lower.
Your data team is probably using AI extensively without telling you - and leadership's early bans are almost certainly why.
The word "dashboard" is just semantic drift from stagecoaches - what matters is whether people can act on the information, whatever you call it.

D35 Your Ultimate Guide to Tableau Conference 2026
Sunday, March 22, 2026 • Duration 57:18
Heading to Tableau Conference 2026 in San Diego? This episode is a practical guide to getting real value from TC26 - without wasting time, burning out, or missing what actually matters.
Tableau Conference can be overwhelming. Thousands of people. Hundreds of sessions. Constant noise, energy, and options pulling you in every direction. The difference between a good experience and a genuinely career-shifting one comes down to how you approach it.
This episode focuses on how to navigate TC26 with intent. It covers what to prioritise, how to think about sessions versus conversations, where the real value is created, and how to position yourself to get more than just inspiration - actual outcomes you can take back into your work.
There’s a strong emphasis on the parts of conference that aren’t written in the agenda: the moments between sessions, the meetups, the side conversations, and the connections that often lead to opportunities long after the event ends.
It also addresses the reality of conference fatigue, decision overload, and the pressure to “do everything” - and reframes the experience around making deliberate choices instead. If you want to walk into TC26 with clarity, confidence, and a strategy that helps you get more out of the experience than most people in the room, this is the episode to listen to before you go.
00:00 – Welcome to TC26: A Journey Begins Fi and Sarah open with the personal story behind why Tableau Conference matters so much to them, including how they first met at TC17.
02:50 – Key Events Not to Miss at TC26 A rundown of the keynote, Devs on Stage, and Iron Viz – and why each one matters for a different reason.
D34 Lifting the Floor: How Andy Kriebel Builds Unstoppable Tableau Analysts
Saturday, March 7, 2026 • Duration 41:47
Summary
What does it actually take to build a confident Tableau analyst? In this episode of unDUBBED, hosts Sarah Burnett and Fiona Crocker sit down with Andy Kriebel, Tableau Visionary, Hall of Famer, and founder of Next Level Tableau, to explore the coaching philosophy that has shaped some of the best analytical talent in the global data community.
Andy has spent nearly two decades turning analysts into exceptional performers. Ten of his trainees have gone on to become Tableau Visionaries themselves, out of only 72 people worldwide who hold that distinction. His stated goal is to make you so good at Tableau that you don't need him anymore.
The conversation explores how confidence is built through environment rather than personality, why soft skills are just as critical as technical ability, and what separates analysts who improve slowly from those who accelerate fast. Andy also reflects on his journey from underwriter to Facebook manager to head coach at the Data School in London, and how those experiences shaped the live, community-driven training model at the heart of Next Level Tableau.
Whether you're an analyst wanting to level up, a manager building a high-performing data team, or someone pivoting into a data career, this episode is packed with honest, practical insights you can apply straight away.
Takeaways
Confidence isn't a personality trait - it's an environment you deliberately design.
The earliest signal that someone will step up is their willingness to put in just that little bit of extra work.
Active participation, homework, and portfolio building compound quickly - especially for career changers.
The number one predictor of a great consultant is listening, not technical skill.
Career changers who invest their own money in learning consistently outperform those whose companies foot the bill.
Building your network and connecting with people already doing what you want to do is the fastest shortcut to career growth.
Communities thrive when everyone focuses on lifting the floor, not racing to the top.
Even experienced Tableau practitioners pick up new efficiency gains in every single class.
The difference between learning Tableau and thinking Tableau is built through deliberate repetition and observation.

D31 How to Run a Workshop That Doesn’t Suck (Facilitation Tips That Work)
Sunday, January 25, 2026 • Duration 59:24
In this episode of unDUBBED, Fiona and Sarah break down what actually makes a workshop work – and why most sessions fail before they even start. They argue that a great workshop is an outcome, not an event: it should produce real progress, shared clarity, and momentum that carries into action. The key is being explicit about purpose and value, designing for participation (not passive attendance), and resisting the temptation to cram too much into a vague agenda. They also share why “structure with flexibility” is the facilitation sweet spot, and how discovery, pre-work, and smart questionnaires can dramatically lift alignment and engagement before the day.
The conversation also covers practical facilitation techniques to ensure many voices are heard, plus the realities of running virtual workshops where inclusion, clear norms, and deliberate interaction matter more than the tools themselves. Finally, they unpack how to handle resistance through preparation and in-room strategies, how to define and measure workshop success beyond vibes, and when a workshop series can outperform a single session for learning, energy, and outcomes.
Takeaways
1. A great workshop is an outcome, not an event A workshop is only “great” if it produces movement: meaningful progress, high engagement, and those shared moments of clarity that carry into real action afterwards.
2. Make the purpose and payoff obvious Workshops cost serious time and money. If people can’t clearly articulate the problem, the value, and what “done” looks like, the session turns into theatre instead of work.
3. Design for participation, not attendance Invite contributors, not spectators. Set the expectation that everyone shows up present and involved – no silent observers, no laptop hiding, no multitasking.
4. The biggest planning fail: too much, too vague Most workshops fall over for two reasons: the agenda is overloaded, and the core problem isn’t defined crisply. That combination destroys pre-comms, dilutes focus, and kills engagement.
5. Use structure, but stay adaptable Bring a strong plan, then be willing to flex. The agenda should guide the room, not trap it – if the real value emerges somewhere unexpected, follow it.

6. Discovery and pre-work change everything The quality of the day is largely decided before anyone enters the room. Validate the problem with stakeholders, understand constraints, and design for the realities of the group and the context (virtual/in-person/hybrid, culture, time, attention).
7. Do a proper walkthrough – physical or virtual Check the environment ahead of time. In-person: layout, walls, screens, movement. Virtual: tools, links, permissions, and flow. Preparation removes friction and protects momentum.
8. Questionnaires are leverage (when they’re smart) Good pre-work questions reduce guesswork, reveal alignment gaps early, and give you language to play back to the group. A light gamified approach can boost completion and buy-in.
Two high-value prompts:
“Are we solving the right problem?” (anonymous if you need honesty)
“How confident are you using data to make decisions?” (helps you pitch content and support)
9. Tools don’t make workshops – inclusion does
The tool is never the point. Design for comfort and contribution. In-person, tactile materials create energy and movement. Virtual, ensure people can use the platform quickly and confidently, and build interaction into the design.
Also: set virtual norms early (cameras, presence, participation) and use engagement mechanics like polls and Q&A to keep momentum.
10. Facilitation is “many voices by design” Great facilitation is intentional distribution of airtime. Draw out quieter voices safely, manage dominant contributors, and design for balanced input.
Practical moves:
Invite quieter voices without putting them on the spot
Use a co-facilitator to track chat, energy, and dynamics
Plan breaks – especially for long or virtual sessions
11. Address resistance before the session, then manage it in the room The best time to reduce resistance is upstream – with leader alignment, clarity of “why,” and proper change prep. In the workshop, use connection-building openers and name the reality of change, then invite ownership rather than compliance.
12. Define success and close the loop Success isn’t “good vibes.” It’s whether you got what you needed: decisions, direction, actions, or clarity that something shouldn’t proceed. Add feedback, next steps, owners, timeframes, and measurable follow-through.
13. Sometimes a series beats a single hit Multiple shorter sessions can outperform one long day when calendars are tight, energy will fade, or you need to adapt based on what emerges in session one. Just be cautious in political or toxic environments where between-session reshaping can undermine trust and outcomes.
