USE YOUR WORDS
Wistia.
Can you write emails that hook people and pull them along, line by line, like a short story does? Can you turn a brand into a well-rounded and hugely likable character?

What if you vary your sentence lengths the way the 18th-century English greats like Samuel Pepys did?

MY BIGGEST STRUGGLES AS A LEADER
Know Your Team.
It wasn’t obvious at all that people won’t want to figure everything out on their own. That they’ll want to have strong guidance from somebody who can then help them see what to do better. Yeah, as I say, I know how obvious it is, but I think it felt aggressive or too assertive to lead, to say, “Here’s the vision that I’m setting,” and you want to get people on board with it of course…
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY
