Random thoughts as a mom of a teenage girl, while packaging a birthday gift for her friend…why didn’t @Sephora and @Beetlejuice do a collaboration?!?

@kelseyhightower Enjoy! Well earned. I’m currently in Thailand learning how to live ❤️

@ElizabethBanks @sundancefest Powerful and impactful! Movie #1 of this festival for us - we don’t see how the next can get any better. #CallJane

@RitaJKing @slavin_fpo @dr_mosconi Anytime! Women can move mountains (or an obelisk) together!

@MySandCloud I need help with an order and am not getting any responses. Is there someone who can help save this one before it’s too late? We ordered almost 3 weeks ago. Please assist!

[Michelle Epps @michelleepps]

@GFruitt I loved that statement. Seriously, what are we doing if not that as leaders (tech or not!)

[Michelle Epps @michelleepps]

Ever defined potential? @EricLBoles defined as “unused success or dormant ability”. Love the idea of unused success. One of the best speakers I’ve heard in a long time! #LOTFFX

Attending day 2 of an internal Leadership Symposium. I wanted to ensure I could focus and absorb…I changed my scenery and moved outside. It’s okay to step away and create space in your brain to actually learn. #LOTFFX

[Michelle Epps @michelleepps]

40% of people believe they’re fit enough to be Olympic athletes (.25% make it). I’m not in that group. @TodMartinATL challenged that we also overestimate out ability to be adaptive when we are potentially very static. #LOTFFX

[Michelle Epps @michelleepps]

The basics…People want to matter, have some level of predictability and work on cool stuff. Nice reminder @HiseGibson Leader of the Future Symposium #LOTFFX

Or some would say Imagination… @RitaJKing

The ability to see order in chaos is called creativity.

If you’ve ever had to get children ready for school during jacket weather, you don’t need to be intimidated by multi-stage, multi-dependency production deployments.

@RitaJKing @ziyatong How are we both zone 7 - that’s what has me perplexed! We are having the opposite impact and lost so many plants (even two trees) that should have survived our winters. P.S. They are beautifully sad.

We have been “Fall Breaking” in our own city. Today @NCRMuseum - National Civil Rights Museum. Impactful conversations ensued

[Michelle Epps @michelleepps]

When coaching people, this phenomenon can come in to play. So often when making tough career decisions, people know the answer…they just don’t admit it to themselves and want someone to else to tell them the “right” decision. #LeadershipMatters

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

We often wait for the universe to answer big questions for us instead of looking inside. Journal about it to find the answer instead of Googling it.

I toured the MD-10 yesterday. To say I was impressed is an understatement. The impact that technology is having on their mission is inspiring. Imagine…AI combined with surgeons combined with a connected, global, learning culture. @OrbisIntl #TeamFedEx

Every now and then, you hear a speaker that hits home. @annemorriss just did that! Simply, trust is anchored between Authenticity, Logic and Empathy. As leaders, we “wobble” on one and “anchor” on one. #EmpathyWobbler here…but now I’m aware! #TXConfWomen

[Michelle Epps @michelleepps]

One of the unexpected benefits of virtual conferences is being able to learn as a family. My daughter loved hearing @Malala speak ❤️. She feels she met one of her heros! #TXConfWomen
