Cancelling meetings is my love language.

A scene while driving my kids home from my son’s reading tutor…

James: mommy, our elf’s writing looks a lot like yours…
Me: (very casually) really, how cool!
(sweats bullets and does not say another word for the whole drive home)

Steph Curry is like that 🪣

❤️❤️Dang. I feel SEEN. So much of my imposter syndrome stems from my career developing at a single company, but in reality it’s felt like four companies and *multiple* versions of myself.

[Jack Altman @jaltma]

It's hard to be a great leader without a pretty long run at a single company. You just don't get the chance to see things through and work through things that are legitimately difficult.

I'll take someone who grew up at a single company or two over lots of short hops all day.

Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi exposed the lies of the government of Iran. They are in prison and in danger of being executed. They are the faces of true courage.

[Jill Valenzuela Schapiro @JillyVal]

I feel seen.😂

[Dr. Emily Anhalt @dremilyanhalt]

hello to that one person who nods along encouragingly during presentations

[Jill Valenzuela Schapiro @JillyVal]

Haha, nice. #twinning

[Jill Valenzuela Schapiro @JillyVal]

I never feel better than anyone, except for the days I get the Wordle in two.

[Jill Valenzuela Schapiro @JillyVal]

Yes, more content like this today please.🥰

At this point, there's no blood, water, or whatever else was in there, it's just La Croix running through my veins. #pamplemousse

@ParissAthena @SmugMug and @Flickr the Chairs of the Committee get an annual rate and then we pay on a project basis for the members (so they can easily opt in and out of the work as it works for them). We also incorporate their work from the Committee into their formal performance feedback.

I had a therapist who once told me, “if you don’t schedule a break, your body will take one for you. And it probably won’t be at a convenient time.”

If you haven’t seen @SmugMug’s “This Lens” yet, it’s a truly inspiring ode to the power of a camera lens. Five stories (so far) from five photographers whose work is making an impact on their lives and the lives of others. Check it out: https://t.co/B0dqMQoqLG

My kids both did great at the dentist so I took them for ice cream right after to celebrate. If you have any mom of the year awards you’d like to submit me for, just let me know so I can prepare a speech.

Yesterday after my therapy. It was a good one.😭

After you get the #Wordle in two, everything else feels like failure.

Wordle 312 3/6

I got the #Wordle in TWO tries today. I feel so smart and important.

"Hi Jill, you already talked to me and said you would introduce me to the person in charge of X". No I didn't, and BLAH. I've seen this line in 3 sales emails this month. Don't do this.

[Jill Valenzuela Schapiro @JillyVal]

Back when I was in sales I would add a line in emails that implied I had already talked to them. Many times it would "work" and I would essentially trick them into talking to me. Salespeople are doing this to me now and it is GROSS. Don't do this. I regret ever doing that. Ick.
