Any recommendations for how to spend a professional development stipend? I mostly use sql and tableau in my role and am very comfortable with those. Am interested in learning python and data science applications and have company money to spend - is there a particular certification that holds some weight or should I just do a coursera?

Honestly a online programming class would be a better use if it’s paid for (community colleges tend to be cheap).

Certs are better for stuff like Databricks, specific softwares that are commonly in use.

UCLA extension maybe

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
