Gethin Nadin’s Post

To foster a workplace culture of inclusion and prioritise staff mental wellbeing, the key is to create opportunities for employees to communicate and connect authentically. An easy way for companies to achieve this is by installing a water dispenser at the workplace. Most employees have their most genuine connections with their colleagues in the office over a cuppa ☕, and such water cooler moments, while may seem trivial, plays a very important role in breaking down hierarchical barriers and fostering genuine connections. Watch the video by leading mental health advocate Gethin Nadin, who highlights how companies can refresh the concept of water cooler moments and establish spaces to nurture meaningful interactions. #WaterCooler #WaterDispensers

In Charles Feltman’s insightful book “The Thin Book of Trust,” he delineates four key distinctions: 1️⃣Sincerity is our commitment to honesty, ensuring our actions and words are consistently aligned. 2️⃣Reliability is our promise, a testament that we meet our commitments without fail. 3️⃣Competence reflects our dedication to mastery, having the requisite skills and knowledge for our tasks. 4️⃣Care, perhaps most crucial, is our core principle, placing the interests of our customers and team members at the forefront of every decision and action. At Drata, trust is our ethos! Every day, we strive to build lasting trust with our partners, customers, and team members 🚀

The past two days have truly been life-giving. I always learn so much from the Women In Product conference, but this year they took it to a whole new level. Here are my top highlights: 1️⃣ The WIP Moms Community group: Now that I'm almost a year into being a mom, getting to connect with other PMs that also mom hard was so exciting. Loved making connections with my peers in the same stage of life as me. 2️⃣ The conversation led by Ana Grace and Meghna Shah around Navigating the Shift: From Digital Transformation to Product-Led Futures. So many inspiring moments that I really connected with. 3️⃣ Hearing from Netflix's dynamic duo featured below - Eunice Kim and Elizabeth Stone. It was amazing to see how aligned they are as CPO and CTO, and how that alignment really drives the culture beneath them. It was like listening to a conversation with old friends. Deborah Liu did such an amazing job moderating, the questions were top notch! 4️⃣ It's no secret that I've been a long time fan girl of Teresa Torres, and her keynote only furthered my enthusiasm for what she teaches. My fave quote from the session- "Companies are just collections of people- some number of people need to start to adopt the habits. It really can start with you." 5️⃣ The single best workshop I have EVER taken in my career was led by Irene Yu around Mastering Technical Literacy. I literally cannot stop talking about how helpful this was, and I can't wait to dig into more content that Skiplevel offers! Grateful for all the connections I made, content I absorbed and discussions I got to take part in. I love what I do, and organizations like WIP continue to drive my passion around this ever changing industry! #24WIP #womeninproduct #productmanagement
