    About suns up my feelings on recent events. Riddle me this Batman, how is it the right against illegal search & seizure of your personal space is protected but not your literal PERSON? While we're at it, which is it? Do we want the govt involved in healthcare or not? Hypocrites

    The end of this interview with @jsnover is hands down the best (and most woo-woo new-age jargon free) description of the 'growth mindset' approach, and how it applies to people junior or senior; nicely put, Jeffrey! evrone.com/jeffrey-snover…
    Jeffrey: Here are the physics: as information explodes, expertise narrows. As paradigms shift, expertise expires. This is a tough industry and I constantly feel like I’m on my heels and can’t keep up. To me, the necessary, but difficult, step was shifting my focus and feeling of self-worth from ‘knowing’ to ‘learning’. Sounds safe and simple but when you are the most senior person in a room and you have no idea what people are talking about, that is an uncomfortable chair to sit in. I take a deep breath, lean in, give myself permission to ask ‘dumb’ questions and suddenly, my anxiety gets replaced with excitement. It turns out that my hard-earned scar tissue is useful in seeing patterns, knowing what matters, how and when to listen to customers, knowing when to be cautious and when to be bold, how to create a roadmap, and most importantly - how to work with a wide range people to accomplish results. When in doubt, focus on people. Always.

    💯 Humans gonna human and their underlying stochastic processes are inherently unpredictable... But that's what makes the job fun 🙂
