The most undervalued skill of our time is the ability to write.
In an analog world, talking was the main currency of communication and connection. In a digital world, there's a growing premium on the capacity to convey thoughts in text.
The pen is mightier than the spoken word.
We all have a strong “judge” in ourselves where we judge not only others but also ourselves. Changing our perspective by focusing on the good in ourselves and in others can be transformational.
Looking for the good in others doesn’t make you naive. It means you’re not cynical.
Recognizing people’s strengths doesn’t deny their flaws. It reveals their potential to overcome their flaws.
Those who refuse to see the good in others fail to bring out the best in others.
Parents try to teach values in conversation, but children learn more by observation.
No matter what we say, kids discover what matters to us by watching what we do. Where we focus tells them what we prize.
A key to being a good role model is paying attention to your attention.
Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."
Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."
The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

Many of the people who are most excited to learn about leadership are narcissists.
Data: people with inflated egos are drawn to theories that glorify leader dominance and charisma.
Great leaders view their roles as an act of service, not an avenue for authority and attention.

Working on a big project about careers in #community. Want to keep things as 💯 & forthright as possible & would love to talk with people who've left the "Community Industry". Want to capture what they miss, what they don't & insights from reflection.
Who should I talk with?
Who is excited and relieved about Ketanji Brown Jackson?!!! I still get teary eyed watching Corey Booker’s speech to her after what she had to stand up to and endure during those hearings.
How to disagree without being disagreeable:
1. Show respect: Your views matter to me
2. Ask for permission to challenge: Can we dance?
3. Signal helping, not attacking: I'd love to pressure-test that
4. Express openness: Curious to hear your reactions. What should I rethink?

@dnlgmb had a breadth of experience that he wanted to bring to a tech startup, but translating that experience wasn’t obvious to him.
The On Deck First 50 Fellowship helped him gain the necessary tools to better tell his professional story.
