Stop apologizing

I have been apologized to so. many. times. recently. Surprisingly, my men at least as much as women. And every time it’s for not getting back to me sooner. Most of these apologies were sent less than 24 hours from my original message. I didn’t expect a response that quickly! …

A quick and dirty content design user test

It’s never too late to learn — I saw a screen that broke pretty much every content design best practice I could think of. I wanted to change it but didn’t have any data to back up my hypothesis that making a change would pay off. All I knew was that the screen looked bad. I made…

How do you do it?

Getting vulnerable to answer my most frequently asked question — I get asked a lot, “How do you do it?” 3 degrees, 3 kids, 2 career pivots, conference talks, expat, published book, etc. etc.… The truth is, I don’t really think a lot about doing these things, I just do them, and so I find myself at a bit of…
