No. 1: Breaking the ice on roam.sarahavenir.com π±
Hiya! π
In case you forgot, I'm Sarah Avenir, a person from the Internet who started a public Roam project about questions I'm grappling with/possibilities I'm exploring as CEO of &yet.
You signed up to receive updates. And this is the first one. β¨
Here's a roundup of the story so far:
- I added a set of Open Questions I'm answering in Instagram videos (AMA!)
- I'm then distilling the transcript from each video into a set of Working Principles
- I also added a Learning page to collect resources I'm learning from that are related to my role as CEO and my application of people-first growth principles
Here's what I've been learning/thinking about this week:
- How do I lead with a strong vision while allowing room for the leadership of others?
- What does it mean to grow in a people-first way?
- I love The Discipline approach to deciding how we spend our time, by William Van Hecke
- I'm inspired by On Work, a poem by Kahlil Gibran
Here's what's next:
- I'm realizing that my thinking in organizing this Roam project is very hierarchical, rather than networked
- I'm not going to stress about it too much, as I think it will organically get better, but I'm interested in learning more about the way people are organizing their Roam projects
That's it for now. If you have any ideas for me, I'd love to hear them.
Sarah
