We’re kicking off our fall Journal Club on Wednesday, 5 November, from 12:05 to 1:00 p.m. (AST).
Top Reasons Why We Like Being Evaluators
Why do evaluators love their work? In this episode, James Coyle and Kylie Hutchinson count down their top reasons for enjoying the evaluation profession. They share how evaluation brings variety through working with different clients and sectors, offers a sense of community in a close-knit but ever-evolving field, and lets them blend practical impact with intellectual challenges. The conversation highlights experiences like collecting data in unique places, managing both data and egos, feeling connected to mentors, and finding creative satisfaction in making recommendations. They also touch on the satisfaction of making evaluation relatable to friends and family, the advantages of not working on the front lines, and the reassurance found at professional conferences, showing there’s truly never a dull moment in the life of an evaluator.
