Four in a row; good, right?

Okay, yesterday was a day, but I won’t dwell on that because this is for affirmations, self-positive-feedback, whatever you want to call it.

1. Tuesday is 1:1 day, I have 3 or 4 schedule 1:1s every Tuesday, and yesterday I had 3 scheduled, and 1 ad hoc. I found out that my manager satisfaction rating is high, and is pulling up the average for my reporting chain, which is nice. I talked with the new Sr. PM in charge of DEI for our org, and built a good rapport with her. I talked about career growth with two of my direct reports, and gave them some ideas to think about. 1:1s were a net positive today. :)

2. I went for another lunchtime walk, this time for a bit more than a mile. Still hate it, which means I have to give myself positive reinforcement.

3. I led a discussion about a book my leadership team is reading (which I suggested), and we had a great discussion around team & org culture.

I’m writing this in the morning (which was always the plan), and that makes it a lot easier to remember the good things from yesterday.

Also, a bonus item: I cooked dinner last night; filet mignons, perfectly medium rare, and broiled asparagus. It was pronounced “tasty” by the Sweetheart.
