“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.” this quote from my personality profile is really spot on for me 16personalities.com/infj-per… #16Personalities via @16Personalities

It's not ambition that holds women back. They're punished for violating gender stereotypes as warm & submissive. Data: ambitious men and women get promoted. Aggressive women are penalized more than men. End the double standard: if you accept it in men, don't reject it in women.

Thanks We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle for being my top podcast on @Spotify this year. I loved all 1,898 minutes of it. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/show/0eFL5H…
Generosity, curiosity and integrity.
Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others. Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, curiosity, and integrity.

Time in meetings has more than tripled since Feb 2020. Nearly a third of meetings are unnecessary—wasting $25M a year for every 1k people. There are 4 reasons to meet: to decide, learn, bond, and do. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cancel it. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

So true. I am so good at passing this advice on and so bad at implementing it myself 🙈.
Repeat after me: good communication requires repetition. Data: leaders are 9x more likely to be criticized for undercommunicating than overcommunicating. Those who say too little come across as unclear and uncaring. When you're tired of your message, it's just starting to land.

What an aha to read and remind oneself when communicating results to teams we work with.
Falling short of a goal doesn't mean failure. Often it's progress. 14 experiments, 10k people: people counted results that didn't meet targets as losses—even if they were gains. The key measure of success isn't reaching your destination. It's improving from your starting point.

Questioning your abilities doesn’t mean you have impostor syndrome. It’s a normal response to a new challenge or a difficult task. The absence of doubt breeds arrogance. Feeling unsure maintains humility. A lack of confidence is a reminder that you have something to learn.

Yes to this 🙌🏼. And it is challenging and needs change management for the teams to come to terms with it.
If your only purpose in adopting agile ways of working is to increase throughput, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's perfectly okay for throughput to go down if you're delivering more value.

Next step courage ... You don’t need enough courage for the entire journey. You only need courage for a few seconds to overcome self-doubt before you take the next step.

An inspiring image to have in ones’ head.
Progress rarely happens in a straight line. It typically unfolds in loops. Day by day, it can feel like you’re spinning your wheels. If you look back on your trajectory over months or years, you can see forward movement. Major growth is the result of many seemingly minor turns.

“Don’t mistake silence for disengagement”. As a leader in a room you have to be able to sit in the awkward moments of silence and engage people who are the deep thinkers. To do that start before you enter the room, it is easier to speak up when prepared.
The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes. You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion. Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.

One of the biggest keys to success at anything hard is believing that you can figure it out as you go along. Because most hard things can't be figured out in advance they never start. As Picasso observed, "To know what you are going to draw, you have to begin drawing."
