almost can't believe @Olark is turning 10! been enjoying some time reflecting with @jaminben on a decade of fits & starts, failures & successes, and all the Olarkers that shaped who we are today ๐ https://t.co/UJQ3Xw3s3F
It's our teammates @olark who really walk the walk ๐ I'm so proud of, and grateful for, our team stepping up to supporting working parents like @jaminben, me, and others. happy to share more of our experience if you want to make parental leave more accessible on your team too!
@kecatlin@olark thanks Karen! our team really stepped up to enable us to step away, and I'm super grateful for them :) also hopeful that our experience can play a small role in encouraging other teams who want to support working parents like this
@cindygallop@jaminben@olark@SueSWSJ@WSJ thanks Cindy! super thankful for our teamโs hard work and the example they set for supporting working parents. hopefully our story can be a small encouragement to other teams hoping to do the same :)
@kaseybayne@karlpawlewicz@CaroKopp@jaminben ...The question of caring about each other is foundational, imo. Investing in relationship helps us be open & candid, with mutual care & respect to fall back on when things go poorly. Including times when we do a poor job of giving each other feedback ;)
@kaseybayne@karlpawlewicz@CaroKopp@jaminben agreed @kaseybayne :) Adding to that, I find it helpful to reflect before giving feedback: Am I separating impacts from their intentions? Am I making space for them to share their perspective? Do they know I care about them as a person no matter what?...
