Today marks my 20th anniversary at Microsoft. 🧡
Twenty years in, these are the five things I keep coming back to:
• Be an improvenist, not a perfectionist - Share the idea, try the thing, and make it better with others. Waiting for perfect can mean never getting started.
• Lead with kindness - You can push for change and still treat people with respect. Be kind to yourself, too.
• Empathy is a superpower - Take time to understand what matters to someone else before trying to convince them.
• Growth lives in discomfort - Feeling uncertain doesn’t always mean you’re in the wrong place. Sometimes it means you’re learning.
• Sharing is caring - So much of what I know came from people who took the time to share. I want to keep doing the same.
Most of all, I’m grateful for the people who have been part of these 20 years. Thank you for teaching me, challenging me, and sharing the journey. You are awesome! 🧡
