My greatest professional accomplishment of the year: I got my exec & manager teammates saying "point positive," a term from whitewater rafting and kayaking.

Meaning: when facing hazards, point people toward where to go/what to do, rather than drawing attention to everything to avoid.

People just naturally start to go toward where you draw their attention, whether they want to or not. 🤷🏻

Might as well pick something good to point at.

This lesson has many applications right now.

Jo - pièce de résistance

@eanakashima EXACTLY!!
I was just talking about this here yesterday with someone naysaying & spreading hopeless cynicism towards my positive vision…and shortly after an interview with Rebecca Solnit expressing this was posted on YT, and now this.
I feel the universe is vindicating me in my arguments & pov. And giving me more examples to better express it.
