One of the most powerful things you can do as a leader? Give people choices. This not only helps people feel more involved, it gives them a sense of agency - something everyone needs to feel engaged with their work. #LeadershipDevelopment

“Software is eating the world … but AI is eating software.” Super interesting deep dive into where the future of AI goes from here. If you're in the middle of strategizing about bringing AI into your org, this is worth the read. sloanreview.mit.edu/article/philos…

One goal I think every leader should have on their radar this year? Making your team's work more visible. Is their work appreciated enough? It's not about bragging - it's about strategically making sure people get the recognition they deserve, which helps everyone. #Leadership

A little reminder in case you needed it - #creativity isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes for creativity to thrive, you have to jump off the deep end. Trust me though, it's always worth it in the end.

Are your habits working for or against you? Do you even recognize the habits you repeat daily/weekly? If you're feeling stuck in a rut, it might be time to hit pause and reflect on all the sneaky habits (good, bad, and neutral) you get up to. Are they still working for you?

It's a daunting question: How do we stay focused on what matters in the right here, right now? Something that's helped me a lot is learning to tune into - and turn off - my inner autopilot. If I notice I'm on autopilot, I can bring my focus back. hbr.org/2025/02/7-habi…

Reminder: Not all conflict is bad. Conflict can be a healthy part of collaboration and teamwork (if you approach it the right way). My biggest advice to leaders? Help your teams separate themselves and their peers from the problem at hand. #Conflict #Leadership

Do you ever wish you had more space to think? It's so easy to get stuck in "doing mode" these days, always focused on short-term to-do lists. But if you want to lead a more well-rounded life, you have to make room for slowing down too. The first step? Giving yourself permission.

What's something we all need to bring more of into the workplace (and our everyday lives)? I'd argue we could all stand to practice more #EmotionalIntelligence. We're not going to get anywhere without collaboration and communication, so why not work to build our EQ muscles now?

What happens when we embrace "systematic curiosity"? It's a powerful question from Anne-Laure Le Cunff. "Instead of following a predetermined path...you explore interesting questions through experimentation. The timelines are longer and the journey more rewarding" bigthink.com/the-long-game/…

Here's something I wish someone would've told me when I was younger: Gratitude is not the opposite of self-advocacy. Gratitude is important, but it shouldn't come at the cost of your confidence or growth. Don't let the "gratitude trap" make you complacent.

Not knowing stuff isn't a problem - everyone starts somewhere, right? The problem happens when you (over)confidently move forward without addressing your blind spots. A little dose of humility always helps. #PersonalDevelopment

Here's a thought: Before automating something, make sure you understand it first. That's the idea behind this thought-provoking piece from Gretchen Gavett Harvard Business Review. Some tasks are “connective labor", and it's important we keep them. Full piece: hbr.org/2025/02/im-afr…

Friendly reminder: #Creativity doesn't just mean building things from the ground up. I know that's what we tend to glorify, but most creative breakthroughs don't result in something entirely new. Creativity can also simply be about solving problems in inventive ways.

For me, the hardest part of any new creative or professional project is figuring out where to start. I've got a million and one ideas in my head, and it's hard to commit to just one. But I've learned that if you embrace the uncertainty, it becomes easier sloanreview.mit.edu/article/five-t…

Your latest project isn't one-of-a-kind, and that's probably a good thing. When you stop trying to make everything "unique", you realize you have more room to learn from other people who have created similar projects (and you can use their lessons to make yours even better).

The best leaders aren't always the smartest in the room... It's not enough to be technically smart. You have to be able to communicate effectively, empathize, and build strong relationships. That's why you need IQ and EQ in equal measure. #EQ #EmotionalIntelligence
