Here's a confession: For the first decade of my career across manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and technology, I watched brilliant professionals—people far smarter than me—completely shut down the moment someone mentioned "data analysis."
I saw marketing directors with incredible instincts second-guess themselves because they couldn't "prove it with numbers." I watched small business owners make gut decisions worth hundreds of thousands of dollars while their spreadsheets sat untouched, full of answers they couldn't access.
The breaking point came during a project meeting. A department head—someone who could solve complex operational challenges in her sleep—literally said, "I'm just not a numbers person" when asked about her team's performance metrics.
That's when I realized: The problem wasn't the people. It was how we talk about data.
Everyone was treating data like rocket science when it should feel like reading a story. They were teaching tools instead of thinking. Complexity instead of clarity.
I founded Pally Data Consulting on a simple but radical premise: Data should empower, not intimidate.
After 15+ years and hundreds of projects, I've discovered something that will change how you think about data forever:
The most powerful insights come from asking better questions, not running complex formulas.
Here's what traditional data training gets wrong:
They start with tools instead of thinking
They focus on what data can do instead of what it should do
They treat everyone like future programmers instead of intelligent professionals
Our approach is different.
We believe every spreadsheet tells a story. Every dashboard answers a question. Every report drives a decision. When you understand this, Excel isn't intimidating—it's empowering. Power BI isn't complex—it's clarifying.
We believe data literacy is the new business literacy. Just like you learned to read financial statements or marketing reports, you can learn to read your data's story.
We believe in teaching thinking, not just tools. Anyone can learn to click buttons. We teach you to solve problems.
We believe in meeting you where you are. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to level up, your journey is unique.


The Pally Method™
Step 1: Story Before Spreadsheets
Before we touch a single tool, we help you understand what story your data is trying to tell. What questions are you really trying to answer? What decisions are you trying to make?
Step 2: Think Like an Analyst
We don't just show you which buttons to click. We teach you how to approach problems like a data professional—with curiosity, structure, and purpose.
Step 3: Build What Matters
Every dashboard, every report, every automation serves a real business purpose. No academic exercises. No theoretical concepts. Just practical solutions to your actual challenges.
Step 4: Confidence Through Practice
We guide you through real scenarios using your actual data, so you're not just learning—you're solving problems that matter to your business.
When I'm not transforming data overwhelm into clarity, you'll find me exploring Ottawa's incredible food scene, planning the next family adventure, or probably getting way too excited about a new data visualization technique (yes, I'm that person who finds pivot tables genuinely thrilling).
What drives me? That moment when someone who's been intimidated by data suddenly says, "Wait, this actually makes sense!" It happens in every training session, every consultation, every project we complete together.
My mission is simple: Make your data something you can believe in and act upon. Because when you're confident in your numbers, you're confident in your decisions.
Clarity Over Complexity
We believe simple solutions are usually the best solutions. If it's confusing, we're doing it wrong.
Progress Over Perfection
You don't need to become a data scientist. You just need to become more confident with your data than you were yesterday.
Real-World Relevance
Every technique we teach, every dashboard we build, every automation we create serves an actual business purpose.
Growth-Minded Partnership
We're not just vendors. We're partners in your professional growth, invested in your long-term success.
Whether you're drowning in spreadsheets, intimidated by dashboards, or simply ready to stop guessing and start knowing, you're in the right place.
Your data has stories to tell. Let's help you read them.

We help professionals and small businesses develop genuine data confidence through personalized training, custom dashboards, and intelligent automation. Because your time is too valuable to waste on data busywork.
