Entrepreneurship continues thriving year after year at Cornell! Enjoyed working with food tech startup SoFresh & seeing presentations at the Grand Challenges Pitch Competition :) Also learned so much attending the Entrepreneurship Celebration festivities!

[Althea @AltheaBata]

This semester has been the best one yet and one of the reasons why is that I’ve been able to explore the more innovative + entrepreneurial sides of campus. Especially loved discovering the business incubator, @revIthaca through a pitch event this fall. Always be customer driven!

Subnets are a practical way to scale horizontally. #Avalanche has cleared an average of 1.2M transactions per day over the last week. More than Ethereum.

I went to see a potential investor today and he wasn’t interested in my deck pitch etc, he wanted to engage me outside of work and understand who I was. So 2yrs ago I would have found that very uncomfortable and literally blocked off that conversation. But we did a course in my

The way I think and work involves #reflections at periodic times to find ways to improve

With the #newyear coming I started a #retrospective for 2021:
- what worked, didn’t
- ways to #improve
- #goals
- action items

How would you answer? What’s your retro structure?

Recently read “Blockchain Bubble Or Revolution,” written by 3 PMs that discuss the pros, cons, & implications of #blockchain and #crypto . Taught me that as a PM it’s important to analyze the #value of a #product/#features & potential blockers/consequences

Truly important to see the overall vision, while the small details are important don’t forget the #goal, the #purpose

Love these lessons from @SahilBloom !

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Overestimate a Day, Underestimate a Year

We overestimate what we can accomplish in a day, and underestimate what we can accomplish in a year.

To fight this, focus on small daily actions that compound over the long-term.

Small things become big things.

When in doubt, zoom out.

[Althea @AltheaBata]

As a #student I leverage #business, #technology, #design, & social #impact for #innovative initiatives

Just like how I like to cultivate growth in a community or investment portfolio, as a PM I bring out the best in my teammates and act as an intermediary #12DaysofProductCheer

It’s not always easy when you tend to put others first, but your ideas are valuable too

Diversity of thought is essential and that’s why I like to create space for others, just don’t forget about yourself because you contribute to that diversity of thought

[Althea @AltheaBata]

“Make space and take space” is a guiding principle in one of my classes

I resonate with this because I always aim to bring out the best in my team members by hearing from everyone first, asking strategic questions, and bridging ideas to come to a consensus

[Althea @AltheaBata]

Recently I provided so much space for others that I had little to none for myself, so I learned that it is important to create a balance and to advocate for yourself more

Jump into the conversation

Take that step, and engage rather than be someone in the background
