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)
❤️❤️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.
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.
@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.
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.
"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.
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.
