Little Wins# Beginning from the childhood, we become restrictive of acknowledging the little achievements because someone else is doing better. We beat ourselves up to achieve a certain level, but by the time we reach there, our goals become bigger and it is completely ok to aim high but the key is to allow yourself to celebrate the small victories. I have sucessfully completed my first project as an independent CS in Practice, but i tried to let it go for the voice of my inner critic- So What? you have incorporated more than 20 companies in the past?? Is it a that big deal? Oh yes! It is. It is about appreciating the journey that it took me to come to this place of being a professional on my own. The little dreams , small wins, First time Firsts. Here is me bragging my first assignment success as a PCS, which may be a very little thing for someone but its big for me🙂. Do you allow yourself to celebrate your little wins at the pace of your own journey??

In the professional world, bravery takes many forms - from pivoting careers to voicing innovative ideas. We’d love to hear your tales of professional bravery and courage. How did you overcome your hurdles? Share your journey & inspire. #LeadershipBravery #CareerCourage

It's crucial to celebrate the small victories along the way. When we take the time to acknowledge these achievements, we build momentum and keep everyone motivated. Recognizing small wins helps to create a positive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and encouraged. It shows that every step forward is important and contributes to our overall goals. This positive reinforcement helps to maintain energy and enthusiasm, making it easier to continue working towards our larger objectives. Make it a point to celebrate these small successes and use them to drive further progress. #smallwins

I've been working in product operations (prodops) for some years now, and it's been an incredibly rewarding journey. Every day, I have the opportunity to make a real impact and help improve lives through technology. However, as a Black professional in this field, I've realized that I'm often one of the few who look like me in the room. Prodops is a relatively new and growing field that offers tremendous potential for those who pursue it. That's why I'm launching #BlackinProductOps - to share my story, demystify this field, highlight its opportunities, and encourage other Black professionals to consider this career path. I know firsthand how rewarding a career in prodops can be, and I want to help open doors for others in my community. By sharing my experiences, I hope to inspire the next generation of Black leaders in tech and contribute to a more diverse and inclusive industry, particularly in life sciences & healthcare. In the upcoming posts, I'll be diving into a range of topics: ➡️ My journey into ProdOps: How I got into the field, challenges I faced, skills and knowledge I acquired, and mentors who guided me. ➡️ A comprehensive overview of prodops and the key competencies for success. ➡️ The importance of diversity in product and the unique value black professionals bring to the field. ➡️ Strategies for navigating career growth in prodops, building strong relationships, and influencing with and without authority. ➡️ Key takeaways from my experience & thoughts on the future of prodops. The first post is coming soon, so stay tuned! In the meantime, you can support me by sharing this with someone who could benefit from it. I appreciate you all.

Wrapping up an icy week of school runs. Celebrating fresh air, getting those steps in, working with amazing clients and getting some things ticked off the list!! As you wrap up your week … Remember to spend some time celebrating the wins. The big ones and the small ones. It’s way to easy to replay the things that didn’t go well - and be self critical. But we tend to skip over the positives - Attributing them to luck, working with a great team. What are you celebrating? #reflectivepractice #leadershipcoaching #workingmum

How to speak when offended

Celebrate small wins! Such an important key to unlocking potential and moving forward, but something many of us are NOT good at. It is something we need to cultivate because it is NOT natural - both as individuals and in teams! We are 3 weeks into January. What are some of the "small wins" you have seen since the beginning of 2024? Look for them and say them out loud, or share them with somebody. And find a small way to celebrate them! Your workgroup will thank you for it. By naming and celebrating the small wins together, you'll build momentum to overcome some of the obstacles you're facing!
