Hi! We’re glad you’re here. Feel free to poke around in the menu bar above or read about what makes us, us.

At Grounded with Data, we are holistic thinkers and data-driven guides who help exhausted overachievers and innovators navigate their business challenges with clarity and confidence.

We redefine problems, provide thoughtful and relatable insights, and use a blend of humor, grace, and intelligence to offer new perspectives and solutions. 

Our approach is authentic, playful, and geared towards making complex data easy to understand and actionable, ultimately helping our clients feel smarter, more secure, and excited about their way forward.

We offer services that not only address current needs but also anticipate future challenges, providing peace of mind and fostering positive outcomes for our clients.

Founded by Patti Brownsord and Dr. Jack Slingluff Jr, a pair of unapologetic nerds who are as passionate about life as they are about numbers, Grounded with Data (GWD) understands that success doesn’t lie in the answers, it lies in the art of asking the right questions.

Our belief: that data, when used wisely, can be a guiding light through the most complex business challenges. But data alone wasn’t enough. It needed a human touch—empathy, creativity, and a playful spirit—to truly make an impact. And so, we became guides, helping our clients navigate their way through the chaos with a mix of insight, humor, and grace.

We redefine the problems and build relationships. 

We create experiences and deliver prescriptions based on our philosophy of answering “so what and now what.”

Our clients know we get it. We understand the sleepless nights, the relentless drive for perfection, the fear of the unknown. And we’re here to help them find their way forward—not just with data, but with a renewed sense of purpose.

Whether it’s through our genius workshops, where we Captain Kirk the Kobayashi Maru, or our playful yet insightful reports that turn data into delightful stories, we’re committed to making the complex simple and the stressful manageable. We take pride in being authentic, staying true to our nerdy roots, and always delivering that little extra something that makes our clients feel smarter, more secure, and ready to conquer their next challenge.

Grounded with Data promises to be your steady hand in the storm, your partner in play, and your guide to a brighter, more data-informed future. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the data; it’s about being grounded in what truly matters.
