3 ways to fix broken rhythm: 🔥 Daily standups → async status + blocker focus 🔥 Block 90min of deep work windows daily 🔥 Monthly reviews → focus on patterns, not reporting Pick one. Start there.

2-week sprints aren't just for delivery. Here's the strategic power most product leaders miss: - Engineers: identify dependencies before they're blockers - Product managers: share fresh user feedback - Designers: reveal insights from recent research

Your team's mental energy peaks in the morning and crashes after lunch. Batch meetings into a 2-hour window. Protect peak energy for challenging work.

The PACE Framework for team rhythm: P - Purposeful outcomes A - Async-first communication C - Customer connected E - Escalation boundaries Transform scattered activity into coordinated momentum.

24% of developers think improving collaboration would improve their job satisfaction. The best leaders understand: scaling only works when your team has the right operating rhythm.

Your team feels chaotic even when you're shipping. The problem isn't time management. It's rhythm management. You need better operating rhythm, not more hours.

My organizational task: • revamping how I store my files on my laptop I have a huge mess, and am shaking my head at how it ever got this bad! My client-files are nice and neat. Everything else? Ugh Help!!!

Great tips on delegation from David Jesse. I'd love to hear tips from others. What strategies have worked for you?

Some hard truths for product leaders: If 80% of your day is spent making decisions for others, you’re not leading. You’re bottlenecking. How many hours last week did you spend on work that only you could do? If it’s less than half, you’re not leading, you’re reacting.

I've been taking a break from posting, while I reconsidered what I truly want to talk about. I just created a content calendar for the next 3 months. I'm super excited to get started. #buildinpublic

Sometimes to take a big step forward, you need to ground yourself in your past. I spent last night remembering the path it has taken me to get to where I am today. Reinvention can take root in what you have already accomplished.

The intersection of: doing what you enjoy + what you get paid for = is the simple recipe for work happiness.

Being independent is something my dad always wanted for me. He raised me to be able to chart my own path forward and never be stuck in any situation. Raising 2 daughters of my own, especially in these times, is what I want for them as well.

As leaders, it’s tempting to stay in the tire tracks of the past. But, this is the very definition of a “rut.” It's funny how often comfort can become a constraint. But remember, right now can be the beginning of a new path forward. So the question is: where do you want to go?

Prepping for a birthday party I am hosting this weekend - it makes me wonder: Why don't we celebrate business milestones like we do life milestones? Work can be such a large part of our life. There are far too few times we celebrate what we've accomplished.

A harsh reality of being an entrepreneur is realizing that just because you built it... ...it doesn't mean users/customers will follow. Breaking through the wall of apathy to what you've created is hard. It doesn't mean no one wants your creation. You just haven't found your early adopters yet.

I know AI's aren't human. But I just yelled at Claude for overreaching on a task, and now I feel guilty. Go figure.

What do you do next after life throws you a curveball? I talked about this in the latest issue of my Leadership Advantage newsletter. Read it here if you missed it: leadershipadvantage.xyz/posts/after-...

Strategy shouldn't make you cringe. Done right: ✅ It's your filter for saying "yes" to the right things. ❎ And even more importantly, when to say "no." Strategy isn't about PowerPoints and endless meetings. It's about clarity.
