The turkey's not even in the oven. But I'm already grateful. Not for big things like deals or wins. For the small moments that matter: Chats with people who get what I'm trying to do. Quick calls that turn into hour-long conversations. Coffee meetings that feel like old friends catching up. See, business is built on relationships. And relationships are built in small moments. So today I'm taking time to appreciate: - The DMs checking if I'm ok. - Those late-night texts about ideas. - The tough feedback that made me better. Because success isn't about hitting numbers. It's the people who help us get there. What small moment are you grateful for today?

It's so meaningful to be included in someone's reasons to be grateful. Wishing you well, Bonnie Beard, in this important time of leaning in to bringing your considerable gifts to the world in this new way. #societyforprocessconsulting

There’s nothing new under the sun. Being intentional with your process allows you to make headways that most will not be able to comprehend. There’s nothing more intentional than a hand written letter or card. It lets people know you’re grateful for them and you’re thinking about them. It’s one of the most simple and superlative ways to connect with an invididual. Customer service is at all time low, so find ways to consistently bridge the gap.

Joining a new company has always been fun for me. You get to meet special people, learn things that inspire, answer questions that require deeper reflection….. I still have a lot to learn, but feel motivated that have already been able to contribute on 3 customer challenges. Key insights: 1) the Playing to Win framework can help change the conversation from ‚what is true’ to ‚what needs to be true‘? Knowing this helps focus on impact, and what needs to be true to deliver around, as well as in, technology projects 2) design thinking tools can help bring proposed solutions to life… for example, roleplaying the worst and best cases to get feedback accelerates solution development.. it really takes courage to get early customer feedback! 3) find your own way. There have been times over the last 2 weeks where I have felt really uncomfortable. But when I think about it, you create your own story. It is empowering to know that most of the time you can change how you feel, just by changing what you think! Thank you to everyone who has helped me over last 2 weeks, as well as all who have wished me well on LinkedIn. Much appreciated! P.s. the isolutions AG Circle office is amazing. Let me know next time you come through Zurich airport!

🌟 Feeling incredibly grateful today! 🌟 I was completely surprised and deeply touched when a valued customer sent me this beautiful cake as a thank you for my work. It's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do – helping others and making a difference in their experience. It’s truly humbling to know that my efforts have made such an impact. A heartfelt thank you to my amazing customer for this thoughtful gesture. 🍰 There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a job well done translate into real appreciation. This is what drives me to keep pushing forward, always aiming to exceed expectations. Here’s to building more meaningful relationships and making a positive impact, one customer at a time! 🙏💼 #Gratitude #CustomerAppreciation #MakingADifference #ClientRelationships #FeelingThankful

Long overdue post, but owe it to my great colleagues and customers. After over six great years at AWS, I've made a short term pivot into academia to pursue a life-long desire. It was really hard to hang up the boots at AWS as it's a place that really cares about it's customers (on all levels) and a place where everyone really believes in the mission and services. I could write a thesis on the topic, but I just want to say thank you to all my colleagues, customers and partners along the way. The past number of years working in the healthcare sector has really opened my eyes to the gaps and opportunities available to improve healthcare outcomes at a personal and public health level. I'll be still doing my best to contribute to the sector, but no longer (at least for now) through the medium of technology. Although there are many factors the contribute to health, a key area is understanding the barriers to long term exercise which the majority of the population struggle to get enough of. Many contributors are understood and many still yet to be explored. I'll be looking the relationship between self-worth, perfectionism and physical activity in an attempt to see if we can add another tool to the healthcare practitioners toolbox! In my opinion, a really interesting area, not only in the field of health, but in all areas of goal-directed behaviors. It's going to be a challenge swapping out my daily lingo of EC2 and containers to covariates and mendelian randomisation but growth doesn't happen in the comfort zone (or whatever the cliché is..). I'll keep you posted whenever there are some interesting findings.

I am deeply grateful for all the heartfelt messages of congratulations regarding my “ 9 years” at Good Things Guy. However, it’s ridiculosuly funny how we can sometimes find ourselves in a loop of automated responses on LinkedIn. Example (and I am sure this is totally relatable): Person: “Congrats on your work anniversary” Me: “Thank you” Person: “You’re Welcome” Me: “Awesome” Person: “Nice” Me: “👍🏼” Person: “Okay” Me: “Okay” Person: “Thank you”  Person: “You’re Welcome” Me: “Awesome” Person: “Nice” Me: “👍🏼” Person: “Okay” Me: “Okay” Person: “Thank you” You get the point. 😂🤣

"Our future pulls us more than our past pushes us... and time is just a tool." Loved getting to hear Benjamin Hardy, PhD, speak during our 2-day SaaS Academy immersion on the psychology of impossible goal setting today and delve into the idea that: We tend to live in the present based on what we have seen in the past, but achieving impossible goals happens when you have a clear vision of the future. So, we worked throughout our intensive to take some time to "shatter assumptions" rooted in a false frame today by: 1) Creating a 100% clear future vision. 2) Bringing 100% belief 100% of the time. 3) Questioning requirements. 4) Saying no to good to get to great. 5) Staying grateful you get to play the game. Appreciate all the coaches and founders walking this journey with us! Marcel Petitpas, Dan Martell, Johnny Page, Dev Basu, Michael Manzi, Matt Verlaque

Standing out in a crowded market. Most of us have a tendency to think that what we like, what we want, is what our customers like and want. I know. I fall into that trap, too. Of course they agree with everything I believe about how things should work! I'm my own best customer! The sad truth? You are not representative of all of your customers. You might not even be representative of the majority. And if you and your development team are making all of the decisions about how your product is going to evolve without making your customers a central part of those decisions, you might not even have a 50/50 chance of developing your product in a way that not only brings in new customers, but also retains the ones you have. In addition to creating a more attractive product, people are more loyal toward businesses that they feel not only hear them, but act on their feedback. This probably doesn't seem surprising until you realize how few organizations exist that have a functional voice of the customer program, let alone one that organically creates product evangelists. Be that person. Be that organization. https://lnkd.in/gbCtnknz
