One-to-one online coaching
Work through one practical task with Sam Lim. Learn to prepare data, check your analysis and explain what it means, with coaching shaped around your starting point and the work you want to do.
Discuss a Practical Skills SprintChoose the problem first
For professionals who can use spreadsheets but want a more reliable way to combine, summarise or check information. Possible topics include lookups, dynamic arrays, PivotTables and Power Query.
Example task: turn sample sales files into a monthly summary that can be refreshed, with checks for missing rows and unexpected totals.
For people who want to connect the steps between preparing data, modelling it and building a useful report. Possible topics include Power Query, relationships, DAX measures and report design.
Example task: build one sales-performance page from sample data, reconcile its totals and explain which filters affect the results.
For professionals who want to answer business questions directly from tables. Possible topics include filtering, joins, aggregation, CTEs and window functions.
Example task: compare monthly revenue by customer from sample tables, checking that joins do not duplicate sales.
These examples help us agree a useful scope. A sprint focuses on one tool and one task; it does not cover all three tools or every topic listed here.
The four 60-minute sessions cost A$795 in total. GST is not currently charged. The order and pace are agreed around your task and experience.
Choose coaching when the goal is to build your own capability. You do the work with guidance, using suitable sample data, and practise the skills between sessions.
If your business needs a production dashboard, a reporting model or a commercial analysis delivered, explore Power BI consulting and Data & Insights services. Production work, access to business systems and implementation are scoped separately.
You need the basics required for the task we agree. The fit call checks your starting point so we can decide whether a sprint is appropriate or the goal needs to be smaller.
