Suppose it's time for an #introduction
I'm Wren! [They/She] I help people, make things, and try to take things the right amount of serious. I Mostly boost, but trying to toot more. I came over from .lol a while ago and since I'm still here I might as well settle in.
Things I am:
#queer #trans #anarchist
Things I like & make:
#art (especially #blockprinting #graffiti & #fibrearts )
#games (mostly #ttrpg & #larp but I like #boardgames & #vidyagames too [don't make these yet])
#software (but only in an #anticapitalist way & v much still learning, my professional background is in #projectmanagent but moved into a #productmanagent role recently)
#plants (mostly #houseplants for now, recently obsessed with #philodendrons & #pothos for their beauty, climbing, and easy propagation)
Things I like & don't make:
#music (almost everything, especially #punk #hiphop & [real, leftist] #country / #americana )
#cats (I have two wonderful girls who I spoil way too much, a #tortie and a #tuxedocat both longhaired)
This is the kind of day I'm having.
[Me to a mate at work]: Lol did you post then delete a chatgpt haiku about psychosocial harm in the workplace regulations to our all-company chat?

Chats over the long weekend with good friends reminded me to try not to slip back into classic #impostersyndrome thinking. Don't sell yourself short, learnings are equally if not more valuable than other outcomes, and women tend to suffer more of this than men do - not always of course, but certainly a big chunk.
Everyone deserves a personal hype team - I needed mine this weekend!

On a coaching call this morning, had the pleasure of hearing from from a CPO that he'd just bought a copy of @aprildunford 's "Obviously Awesome"
Great book from my (the) go-to positioning thought leader.

Sometimes people forget how freaking big the world outside #twitter is .
Take for eg MSN news , which I am sure many consider a spam site
It still has 550M monthly readers ...
Ofcourse not an exact comparison, but Twitter has about 200ishM mDAU
It's a sustainable business , and I assume profitable.
I get approached quite often for questions around #productmanagent and quite frankly I Love to teach and share( my first part time job was computer science teacher)
We didn't have much to follow when we started, and stumbled our way...i am an accidental #productmanager
I hope the new ones don't make the same mistake.. rather they make new ones..
So if you want to talk about #ProductMgmt you can hit me up on substack chat.
I wrote up a piece about the Weekly wind down session I hold with my team, as some people found the idea interesting earlier in the week.
The idea is to create a psychologically safe place to vent the week away and hopefully go into the weekend without baggage.
My team really like the session, so it works for us 😃
