What happens when business analysis professionals stop going it alone and start finding their people?This episode of Business Analysis Live comes to you “live” from Toronto at the Building Business Capability (BBC) Conference—and it’s all about connection. I share scenes from the conference, introduce two incredible guests, and explore what it really means for business analysis professionals to find community, visibility, and confidence in a world that’s increasingly virtual.We talk about why conferences matter beyond the sessions, how visibility shows up differently in remote work, and why volunteering, networking, and authenticity play such a critical role in career growth. Through thoughtful conversations with Pam Paterson and my IIBA colleague Lia Spoltore, we dig into the human side of business analysis—values, trust, relationships, and learning together across generations.If you’ve ever wondered how to build confidence, grow your network without feeling transactional, or reconnect with the people part of this profession, this episode is for you.🎧 Episode Highlights• Finding your people in the business analysis community• Visibility vs. being “busy” at work• Networking beyond job searching• Volunteering as a confidence and skill builder• Human skills in a tech- and AI-shaped world• Values, authenticity, and trust in professional relationships• Conferences as connection, not just content
