It seems like muscle memory for data people to start with thinking and talking about the data and method for accomplishing a project.
Its like you have to essentially unlearn that and join the user in the business arena first in order to be effective, and then you can go back to your data and be the analyst once you have what you need!
Totally, it’s not an easy thing to do as you go in with an assumption and way of approaching things that you basically have to ignore. Then pay attention and cater to the stakeholder you are talking to while guiding them with your expertise. Do this well and you will forever be a star data professional!
