Brevity is the soul of wit.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The most meaningful way to start getting to know people is not to ask where they're from or what they do.

It’s to show an interest in how they became who they are.

"What's a defining moment that shaped your identity?"

We reveal ourselves in the stories we tell about our pasts.

A core skill of emotional intelligence is treating your feelings as a rough draft.

Like art, emotions are works in progress. It rarely serves you well to frame your first sketch.

As you gain perspective, you can revise what you feel. Sometimes you even start over from scratch.

People with real skills and expertise tend to be more tentative and uncertain. https://t.co/E8R9q9oZlf

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

“Technologists are not noted for learning from the errors of the past. They look forward, not behind, so they repeat the same problems over and over again.” – Donald A. Norman, inventor of the term “User Experience” @interacting

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When people disappoint us, it’s not due to their actions. It’s because their actions fell short of our expectations.

You can’t control what people do, but you can choose not to let their actions drive your emotions.

Be clearer about your expectations—or set more realistic ones.

H&M has gone all Amazon Books with tiered pricing for #loyalty club members. 10 years ago this would have been the fastest way to alienate shoppers but today you have to genuinely acknowledge + reward your VIP customers.

According to the Institute for Women's Policy Research, it will be 2059 before women earn as much as men for equal work. #EqualPayDay

Problem: in meetings, the best talkers sometimes have the worst ideas.

Solution: pair people up to pitch one another's ideas.
