More Testimonials

The leadership program from The Effective Statistician has profoundly changed how I view leadership. It demystified the concept, showing me that leadership isn’t something innate but a set of skills like acumen, trust, and influence that can be developed. The program has helped me improve my communication, making it clearer and more impactful by incorporating emotional appeal. Additionally, it has encouraged me to build trust more purposefully, making everyday interactions opportunities for growth. I also appreciated the practical tools, like movie clips and real-world examples, which allowed me to learn from others. The mastermind sessions were a safe space to discuss challenges unique to statisticians in healthcare, which made the learning highly relevant. Overall, the program is a lifelong journey of becoming a “student of leadership,” and I’m already seeing its impact in my daily work.

Thank you to both of you for putting a great course together! The presentations were engaging with interesting practical examples from the trainers, and the Mastermind sessions really helped consolidate the learning and understanding. Since enrolling in the course I put myself forward for a team leader position, and I’m sure having an awareness of the concepts and principles that were introduced during the training helped me succeed at the interview. I would happily recommend the course to any statistician interested in learning more about leadership. – Euan Macpherson

Daniel Saure, Phd

I worked with Alexander on launching a new compound and he was a very reliable partner who I fully trusted in terms of his statistical guidance. He has a deep understanding of launching new products and works effectively in leading statistical teams to maximize the value of data. His excellent communication skills combined with his passion for helping patients make him a brilliant business partner and an asset in working with key opinion leaders.
