Don't mistake assertiveness for aggression.

Being assertive is advocating for your interests. Being aggressive is attacking other people's interests.

Standing up for your ideals doesn't make you pushy—it stops you from being a pushover. It's not selfish—it's self-preservation.

Stop telling women how to avoid getting attacked. Start telling men to stop attacking women. #saraheverand

Happy International Women’s Day! If you can get over the conspicuous lack of that narrator woman, this is a real feel-good celebration of too many inspirational women to count. https://t.co/7BDL0Cgd3b

#ivebeenjackieweaver As a voluntary Director of a National Governing Body, I received a toxic cocktail of threats and aggression from angry entitled men who believed they could intimidate me into getting their own way #jackieweaver #jackieweaverhastheauthority #everydaysexism

[Katie @Optimisticorca]

@EverydaySexism #ivebeenjackieweaver too @RainesWilliams. Too many women experience toxic misogynistic aggression and intimidation in all manner of professional and voluntary committees #imwithjackie #jackieweaverhastheauthority #everydaysexism

@davidjbland Udacity’s How to Build a Startup was good, as are Strategyzer’s online courses. Agree with the comparison to gym memberships there are a few I’ve signed up to and not done/completed!

You’ve succeeded with building your innovation process when your project teams understand what evidence is required to deserve further funding!

[Jeff Morris Jr. @jmj]

Your startup probably won’t work.

Pick a problem you’d be proud to tell friends about 10 years from now, even if it fails.

The worst failure happens when founders spend years grinding on a problem they don’t care about & finally admit this to themselves when things fall apart.

What does delighting your customers look like in your context? What will you see? Hear? Will your customers grab you buy the shirt and say ‘take my money now!’? Write this down so everyone knows when you see it! @arachleff @ericries #leanstartup #innovation

Today the job of the Executive is creating the platform that ensures the right experiments are being run @arachleff @ericries #leanstartup #leadership #innovation #Entrepreneurship

[Katie @Optimisticorca]

We found that our customers wanted us to manage all of their money well, rather than some of their money very well. It was a big surprise because what they wanted was much easier for us to achieve! @arachleff #leanstartup #pivot
