Moonwalking out 💃🕺, one evening at the product team retreat from @sherpany last week. It was fun and we made it count! 💙 for everyone who is part of this team.

A post card setting for the ⁦@_ProductAcademy⁩ course I am teaching today on product strategy.

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.” this quote from my personality profile is really spot on for me https://t.co/yu9FHFJdLN #16Personalities via @16Personalities

What will you stop in 2023? Sharing my experience for others to also find good endings. https://t.co/4g7zJ9Wjxz

It's not ambition that holds women back. They're punished for violating gender stereotypes as warm & submissive.

Data: ambitious men and women get promoted. Aggressive women are penalized more than men.

End the double standard: if you accept it in men, don't reject it in women.

Thanks We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle for being my top podcast on @Spotify this year. I loved all 1,898 minutes of it. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/wwnNeNL90y

Generosity, curiosity and integrity.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others.

Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, curiosity, and integrity.

Time in meetings has more than tripled since Feb 2020. Nearly a third of meetings are unnecessary—wasting $25M a year for every 1k people.

There are 4 reasons to meet: to decide, learn, bond, and do. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cancel it.

[Nina Schneider @nimisc]

So true. I am so good at passing this advice on and so bad at implementing it myself 🙈.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Repeat after me: good communication requires repetition.

Data: leaders are 9x more likely to be criticized for undercommunicating than overcommunicating. Those who say too little come across as unclear and uncaring.

When you're tired of your message, it's just starting to land.

[Nina Schneider @nimisc]

What an aha to read and remind oneself when communicating results to teams we work with.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Falling short of a goal doesn't mean failure. Often it's progress.

14 experiments, 10k people: people counted results that didn't meet targets as losses—even if they were gains.

The key measure of success isn't reaching your destination. It's improving from your starting point.

[Nina Schneider @nimisc]

@johncutlefish Yes. In B2B those are two distinct things. Learned in my previous company and learning again now.

[Nina Schneider @nimisc]

@ckr 🕵️‍♀️ 🤫 not telling anyone

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Questioning your abilities doesn’t mean you have impostor syndrome. It’s a normal response to a new challenge or a difficult task.

The absence of doubt breeds arrogance. Feeling unsure maintains humility.

A lack of confidence is a reminder that you have something to learn.

[Nina Schneider @nimisc]

Yes to this 🙌🏼. And it is challenging and needs change management for the teams to come to terms with it.

[Allen Holub. https://linkedIn.com/in/allenholub @allenholub]

If your only purpose in adopting agile ways of working is to increase throughput, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's perfectly okay for throughput to go down if you're delivering more value.

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

Next step courage ...

You don’t need enough courage for the entire journey. You only need courage for a few seconds to overcome self-doubt before you take the next step.

[Nina Schneider @nimisc]

@archiecoder @sherpany @m_brenner @czpython Thanks for taking the @sherpany app to the next level @archiecoder and all the best ahead!

[Nina Schneider @nimisc]

An inspiring image to have in ones’ head.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Progress rarely happens in a straight line. It typically unfolds in loops.

Day by day, it can feel like you’re spinning your wheels. If you look back on your trajectory over months or years, you can see forward movement.

Major growth is the result of many seemingly minor turns.

[Nina Schneider @nimisc]

This.
