Earn Your Happy 862. Weekly Lite Pink Updates: Managing Our Expectations In A Business Of Uncertainty
Because this is my first time launching something in the product-based space, managing my expectations hasn’t been the easiest. Between timelines getting thrown out the window, working with multiple teams, and creating all kinds of contracts, Lauren and I have learned how to get super clear about what we can offer and what we need. Through this whole process, we’ve lived by the mantra that everything happens to us for a reason, and it’s helped shine some light on really difficult times. Today, we’re talking all about setting boundaries, silver linings of obstacles and hard conversation, and why it’s so important to be a vulnerable leader.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- Navigating collaboration with new teams
- Being open and upfront about you capabilities and expectations
- How to be considerate, yet forward when you need answers
- How specific deadlines have added structure to our workflow
- Valuing when people go above and beyond for you
- Why it’s a blessing in disguise that we didn’t launch when we planned to last fall
- Building momentum before a launch
- How Lauren supports me in my role as a public-facing CEO
