"The road to success is paved with mistakes well handled" -Danny Meyer This really resonates with me - it's more useful than saying "success comes from failure". We all make mistakes. Constantly. How you handle mistakes as a leader will set you apart and earn trust and respect.

Wow, can't believe I've done 100+ sessions on Plato! I've grown quite a bit through this experience. Both by learning from the leaders I meet, and by having to more clearly distill the lessons I've learned over the years into principles and practices that land with others.

Many factors go into making great eng. manager, but for @Netflix’s Director of UI Eng., @csaintamant, it's all about balance. He's not just a manager but a rockstar mentor for his team members & for so many others @platohq. Congratulations on completing 100+ mentorship calls🥳

To be silent is to be complicit. Black lives matter. We have a platform, and we have a duty to our Black members, employees, creators and talent to speak up.

Incredibly powerful view on empathy and listening from @rickgriffith: "Accept that at any given time, the answer to [a] problem could be well-lodged in the back of the throat of a person who doesn't want to speak up." youtu.be/-IpLwwcBFkA

Lots of great stories (including mine) of non-traditional paths to success. For me, it wouldn't have been possible without the people who took chances on me along the way, and numerous folks who mentored me on the job.
