@NickPoole1 @swardley Wardley mapping, every time. My first job in framing any discussion is coming to a shared understanding of the underlying value and power dynamics and resultant methods.

@blangry I used to like “do what you love” until I realized how much unearned privilege went into having the option. Working for very mission-driven organisations has also made it easier for me to hurt my own mental health by putting everything into “the cause”. Double-edged sword.

@vosageroll Enjoyed your weeknote, Harry - well-written, nicely structured and (most importantly) honest about the highs and the lows. Keep 'em coming! (And you're a great asset in your new team.)
