How did you get a seat at the table? Did you wait for the invite, or just pull up a chair and start talking? My team finally got invited to product strategy meetings and the amount of brand damage we could’ve prevented if we’d been looped in from the start is staggering. Confusing naming, clashing messaging, visuals that break our entire system… we’ve spent months patching things that could’ve been solved with a 30-minute convo up front. Now that we’re in the room, things are better, but I can’t help wondering how others made this happen earlier.

When somebody makes your life easier, more enjoyable, or even just more fun, do you not try to have them around more often?

Force the conversations, but come in with solutions, not just problems. Be as willing to listen as you are eager to be heard.

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!
