I've got a secret to tell you. Waiting patiently for a promotion is a road to nowhere. Your think you're waiting your turn. But your boss has no idea promotion is on your mind. Plus if the boss doesn't know what you do, your value is invisible. Here's the 7 step framework

As the #FutureOfWork will likely be replete with fast-paced evolution/change, we would be wise to heed @Pam_Rubin1's charge: Pre-socialization - communication, buy-in, and alignment - are key to sustainable progress & retention of teammates #ProfessionalDevelopment
Pre-socialization is where it's at. It doesn't matter what framework you use, if people don't buy in, nothing will move forward.

“There are no solutions, only trade offs” So true in the workplace.
8. “There are no solutions, only trade-offs.” Human progress slows cause we get fixated on perfect solutions. There are none. Perfect solution: • Solves a problem • Actually gets put into action Action will tell you more than a perfect solution that goes nowhere.

Meeting madness: The more meetings an organization has, the less time people spend reading those “read-ahead” documents. (They expect it’ll be explained on the call, anyway, so why prep?) But if there were fewer meetings, people would have more time to prepare, and need less

Chaos often hides untapped #opportunities. When things get messy, it’s actually a good chance to innovate, adapt, and find new paths forward. It's important to embrace the disruption and see where it takes you. #Entrepreneurship
Where there is chaos, there is opportunity.

It’s not whether you know the answer that matters. It’s whether you have a strategy to bring that answer to life. “Ideas are easy, execution is everything.”

In decision making, analysis is a helpful tool. It's wise to be thoughtful and not rush in. But once you've done your research and have enough data for a reasonable decision, it's time to move forward. Don't overthink it. Write down your plan and take action. Don't spend so

One of the secrets of early career success is saying ���yes!”. New opportunity? Yes! New community? Yes! New tools and tech? Yes! But too many yeses can distract from your biggest goals. No matter how much you want it all, you simply cannot do it all. That means learning to

So well put. Patience, continuity and grace.
Effort is measured in minutes, not months. - Decide quickly. - Focus ruthlessly. - Ship continuously. Impact is measured in decades, not days. - Deliver consistently. - Persist indefinitely. - Invest generously. “Impatient with action. Patient with results.”

Resist complex processes when a simple process will do. It’s easy to over engineer a process to handle 100% of use cases when a simple process that handles the most important 80% can be enough. Complexity is easy, it’s simplicity that’s hard.

Each accomplishment helps you see how far you've come and imagine how far you can go.

Whenever the workplace is filled with impossible deadlines or ultra-challenging issues it’s easy to let the sheer pressure bring you down. But when you remember all the times you’ve rallied and found a way forward against the odds, you recharge the sense of possibility inside

Apparently I’m not the only one who finds the term “double click” in corporate speak to be cringe-worthy. (Link in next tweet)

Not sure who needs to hear this: If you’re expecting something from someone, but don’t tell them, it’s on you, not them. You can’t assume they just *know*. They’re not psychic.

3 questions to narrow your focus when the work you are doing gets messy: 1) What problem am I solving? This helps you hone in on the core problem you're addressing. To get even narrower, define what success will look like too. 2) Who owns the problem am I solving? Do you
