It was a hard lesson for me: impact isn’t guaranteed. I thought it was enough to be good at my job, to have good intentions, to want to help people. I didn’t understand that alignment is a soft skill as much as it’s part of the plan. You have to meet people where they’re at, which echoes that old adage that “everyone’s in sales.”
This isn’t my happy place. I don’t like marketing myself. I just want to find hard problems and solve them.
Lesson after lesson, it doesn’t get easier for me, but I make the effort. Sometimes the impact that’s most important is the impact we have on ourselves. So this is my stretch.
What’s yours?
