Building excellent products and the teams that build them.

The only thing I have to say regarding the conduct in the last 20 hours between @POTUS DJT and @elonmusk is that I never again want to be told that my executive presence isn’t good enough.

[elle @hi_im_elle]

@lexfridman I think a lot of us shared your mixed feelings and as ever feel inherently unsafe to express any form of emotion or vocalise our thoughts and feelings.

[elle @hi_im_elle]

@elonmusk pls would you look to eliminate IRS taxation of US citizens abroad on global income? Normal ppl on salaries of <$150k are paying thousands to prove they don’t owe or to file returns despite paying their main country of residence. Only 2 countries do this - pls end it.

I’ve been getting lots of mentoring requests this year. I have limited capacity currently but am pleased to share that I’ll be one of several involved with mentoring in Women In Product UK, available to all as part of the plus membership 👌🏼 https://t.co/10BjUAsV2F

@MartinSLewis I hope they will start factoring in child maintenance payments

@MAVERIC68078049 She looks better than any 77 year old in my family ever did.

I am in the beginning phases of a total life transformation. I don’t know where it’s going to lead and I am pretty sure it’s going to be uncomfortable AF but if I’m quiet and disappear for a while I’m just working though and on the next levels.

She has been speaking openly for many years. The crux of the issue is that they were all minors at the time. I think most outlets and decision makers are grappling with the question of to what extent does a grave act limit one’s suitability to lead. From a feminist perspective in 2023, it feels like a classic boys will be boys sort of write off. That board was quite young, set up with ethical considerations in mind with humanity and its greater good at the heart. While we can’t say that this was in any way a factor or a concern, we can say that it is a back channel of concern for many. Lastly I believe her. I see so much of my own style of expression in the way she speaks of her trauma albeit in a non traditional way that many would expect. Not all victims are sheepish or traumatised. Many become activists and defiant. Which to me is what she is exemplifying. The fact is she supports herself financially through only fans which in the puritan american lens is in some spaces means a so called rightful dissection of her credibility or outright discredits her. But it doesn’t with me or anyone else I know.

@emilychangtv @sama @adamdangelo @eshear Why does no one care about his sister’s sexual abuse claims from when they were children? Is it because she suffers from mental health issues now and is a sex worker to survive?

[elle @hi_im_elle]

It was a sincere pleasure to have been approached by @everywomanUK and @ew_techhub1 for this interview with their journalist. I hope it will help anyone currently navigating a career in the realm of product, digital, or agility. https://t.co/9N4afP0BWW

The love hate relationship that product management has with agile coaching is a topic that came up in interactions with MAANG leaders this week. To explain succinctly their issues - it’s the parroting of complex topics into lists on LinkedIn and Videos that most coaches have never actually done themselves which feels upsetting and dishonest. Many agile coaches have never been in a leadership role owning a P&L, never fully been accountable for concept to launch of a value proposition that made actual money or didn’t and was pivoted on, yet are narcissistic enough to pontificate very shallow theory in the spirit of being ‘internet famous’. I would like for everyone encroaching into product who hasn’t actually discovered, delivered, grown and sunset products to use this Sunday to think about the word ‘integrity’ and why those who really do hold that difficult role would perceive there is a lack of that in the agile coaching industry.

Tuesday I took part in a panel for @everywomanUK in London followed by an incredible kick off event for Women in Product UK. Wednesday, I worked with colleagues at a Bupa assisted living centre on visualising workforce flow planning using flow and then helping some patients at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust learn about careers in tech. ❤️ Thank you for letting me make a difference.

[elle @hi_im_elle]

The founding members kicked off Women in Product UK with a powerhouse group from TikTok, Meta, Google, Amazon, heathtech, fintech, edtech, and many others. A wide range of diversity in culture, language, ethnicities, and even disability.

[elle @hi_im_elle]

Currently Wardley Mapping Sustainability topics with some of the gang at Bupa and the lovely @swardley Wardley. What a pleasure!

@elonmusk @Tesla could you design something more on par with an SUV please like perhaps the Volvo XC60? Not everyone wants a low chassis.

A digitally native company with digitally native propositions and features has this luxury. Not every company has joined up proposition and digital. Not every company has joined up marketing and product whether digital or prop. And certainly most companies have a lot of inefficiencies

[0xDesigner @0xDesigner]

i'm blown away by how creative websites from the 90s were, despite the constraints.

with slower internet speeds, websites needed to be more efficient, prioritizing function over style. but yet, they still managed to be useful and have flair.
