Vulnerability != weakness. Growing @theBACHparty, coaching @tryexponent, and writing on substack

There is no short-cut to building credibility & influence as a PM. It's built every day. By consistently doing your job at a high level & investing time in building real relationships. It's not built in your weekly 1hr "product sync" or w/ the fancy words you use in your roadmap.

How many of your last product decisions have been about you more than your users?

The only productive person to measure yourself against is yourself

Consistent kindness is the ultimate sign of strength

Spend less time trying to convince and more time trying to understand

When I’m going through a tough time...work related, life related, love related...often the last thing I want to do is reach out and open up about it. But every time I do, people surprise me with their kindness and support. It’s out there, just gotta put yourself out there too.

Been getting back into the #product game over the last few weeks and quickly remembering how fun it is spend your day immersed in @googleanalytics, talking to (read: obsessing over) your users, and trying to figure out what the eff to do next. Why is it so addicting?!

[Sarah Sprague @itsme_sass]

@naveen lol or revise the story into some cute soundbite that makes it seem like there was full clarity from the beginning to the end

Started writing about #product again with some new perspective gained over the last few months - https://t.co/qwLS9gYKji

Most successful people are people you’ve never heard of. They want it that way. It keeps them sober. It helps them do their jobs.

[Sarah Sprague @itsme_sass]

Pretty good guide from @trello on #remotework - includes some pro tips like not having half remote/half in person meetings, communication guidelines, and at least 1 new tool rec for me that I'm going to check out @appear_in --> https://t.co/WO2gLt6rU8

[Sarah Sprague @itsme_sass]

Another gem, “when we are aspiring, we must resist the impulse to reverse engineer success from other people’s stories.” thanks for the reminders @RyanHoliday

"The founding of a company, making money in the market, or the formation of an idea is messy. Reducing it to a narrative retroactively creates a clarity that never was and never will be there." @JimmyMarsanico thanks for the #EgoIsTheEnemy book rec!

[Sarah Sprague @itsme_sass]

we all need some tips on how to keep perspective and stay balanced while at work and in NYC...let me know if you plan on coming so we can meet up!

The buzz word to substance ratio of the majority of the panels I attend is absurdly high

@BrianNorgard - read a book that has nothing to do with what you’re working on
- walk around a part of town you’ve never been to with no (google) maps
- yoga (hip hop yoga personally!)
- remove your expectations
- don’t only hang out with people who work in tech 😬😬
- bake bread from scratch
