Interested in building with Coda? We have two special events this week to get you into the maker mindset and stretch your doc-building muscles: On Tuesday, 5/21, join Sarah Wry to build a connected tracker that connects your weekly updates to projects, goals, and milestones—all in the name of providing visibility into and alignment on what your team is actually working on. https://bit.ly/3QSqBiQ On Thursday, 5/23, John Scrugham will show you how to build a product team hub like Tonal did—one that combats misalignment, and promotes autonomy and adaptability within the team. https://bit.ly/3WRUuDE

What does it take to run a successful tech start-up? Dr Ian Campbell, CEO at Breathe, recently shared his experience with TechRound on navigating this journey. Running a deep tech start-up is all about balance - between knowledge and curiosity, confidence and humility. This approach drives everything we do at Breathe, from building innovative battery technology to fostering a collaborative team culture.

Ok a little tardy with my week 3 wrap up as we relocated with a drive from Southern California to Minnesota last week. (we'll save why I'm doing this for a future post 😜 ...) As a west coast gal, I have been spoiled with reasonably good cell reception/hotspot service during my road trip travels. Well... that ends once you get past Las Vegas... Out of 28 hours of actual driving I'd say about 18-20 of those hours had no to very limited cell coverage. Needless to say all of the projects I was hoping to get knocked out during the drive were still waiting for me when I was finally able to log on with real internet this morning. However, what was truly amazing was how much I was still able to accomplish with my team to keep the ball rolling on a number of newly launched initiatives. I attribute it to 3 things: 1. Having/hiring a great team who is self-motivated... 2. Defining a clear framework for the team to execute within... 3. Empowering that great team with "Freedom within the Framework" to make magic happen... I'm off to Denmark tonight to spend two weeks getting to know the global Zensai team including an exec offsite, my first revenue leadership offsite and our global senior leadership offsite. In the world of SaaS, successfully scaling is all about alignment both at the strategy and operational level across all functions. Love that Rasmus Holst and our board prioritize making the investment (time and money) to ensure teams are aligned across functions and around the globe. 🚀 Stay tuned for an update on Friday about my first week in Denmark!

I made it to year three in a doctorate program, that I truly loved. Life happened, and the financial/personal cost led me to pause the work and use my education in non-higher ed. environments, where I was hoping I'd end up. But, hey, Soli Deo gloria! Coda's doctorate program didn't take me as long 🤣 and it wasn't as hard 😝 , but it's proved one of the best decisions I've made in the last year to further my organizational skills than everything else. If you want a little tour of some of the different documents I've created, let me know. 1) I've built a personalized Disc Golf putting program 2) a CRM for a blackberry selling business with marketing and invoicing 3) a meeting note documentation system that automatically pulls from your Google calendar and can send automated emails/surveys 4) a dashboard for a call center Queue that pulls data daily and helps track KPIs 5) a Monday board replacement that is about to be used for onboarding at three various sized companies, representing about 1800 clients. I will refrain from asking people call me Dr. Potter. Nobody needs that. Excited to keep dreaming with Coda in both work and my personal life. If you've never checked it out, I'd be happy to give you a tour. For those at Coda who need a little encouragement today, from someone who has experience at a SAAS company in Customer Experience: you're crushing it! KEEP GOING.
