Does your day-to-day behavior make our society more thoughtful and collaborative, sustain rather than destruct, unite rather than polarize? Do you, as an individual, affirm our humanity?

Wonderful people are made, not born.

Customers are more empowered than ever, and that isn't going away. Not ever. What this means is that while many businesses have been able to grow — and will continue to grow — based solely on transaction-based business strategies, it’s only going to get harder and harder for those businesses to survive. And it’s going to get easier and easier for businesses with relationship-based strategies to grow and thrive as they attract increasingly empowered customers who share their vision. Big corporate giants aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, of course, so just take that for what you will. But it’s worth noting that 89% of the original 1955 Fortune 500 companies are no longer with us. And the drop-off rate is faster than ever.
Kyle Studstill, stating what’s so obvious and yet still on the table
It’s hard to see a new paradigm when people are immersed in the one they know. If something is as natural as breathing, it’s just the way things are, and the existing culture can make people oblivious to how it might or should be different... The men who may be promulgating [discriminatory behavior] are often very unaware of the slights, and did not intend the outcome. And for the women, it happens in incremental steps that often seem so small in isolation that any individual act seems silly to complain about. So we move on. But in aggregate, and with the perspective of hindsight, they are real.
A Fish Is the Last to Discover Water: Impressions From the Ellen Pao Trial
"I try to live by that Maya Angelou quote: ‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’"
"How do you think you make people feel?"
"Needed, but also not needed at all. And completely unappreciated."
- Motley, Manhattan
THIS. I aim to be more of this.
The zeitgeist today declares that in order to matter, to exist even, you must be seen; yet these people who work without public recognition are some of the most satisfied among us... Most of us need to promote ourselves and our work at different times. Invisibles aren’t against being acknowledged for their accomplishments, nor is their humility and desire to remain under the radar to be taken for meekness. On the contrary, they are often highly ambitious, and, as noted, reaching enviable levels of achievement. The message about Invisibles, ultimately, isn’t about how much or whether you’re seen or not. It’s about what motivates you. If we focus a bit less on waving a flag for ourselves and a bit more on the work itself, we may find ourselves, as so many Invisibles have, fulfilled and successful.
I’m a huge advocate of this.
Margin is the space between our load and our limits. It is the amount allowed beyond that which is needed. It is something held in reserve for contingencies or unanticipated situations. Margin is the gap between rest and exhaustion, the space between breathing freely and suffocating. Margin is the opposite of overload.

Love these Women’s Leadership Postcards for AIGA.
Belated warning! Really big pic of my face.
AlphaUX just kicked off a podcast This is Product Management, an interdisciplinary deep dive into the field of product management with learnings from user experience, statistics, innovation, differentiation, design, development, metrics, and more. I’m pretty grateful to be among their first few episodes along side Nir Eyal and Steve Cohn.

Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terrors, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.
Anais Nin
Anytime you are progressing, it’s competitive. People will use whatever tools they have to try to prevail over you. The set of tools that is used against women is based on perceptions of their vulnerabilities. I think a lot of this, particularly when we are talking about top jobs, is really about power and not about gender. Some of the ways people fight tactically may feel gender-based, but they’re really about power.
A lot of this this year
Last Friday, we headed over to the Museum of Moving Image’s GIF exhibit. While it only held our attention for 20 minutes, everything about this video had us giggling for hours.
Flipbooks are the analog versions of gifs, right?
FAV.
