Marketers and UI designers, if you are intentionally making it hard to click "X to close" on mobile, it is not only infuriating, it can actually be brand-damaging as well. #ux #uidesign #ui #mobileadvertising #clicktoclose #userinterfacedesign #mobiledesign

I've been a huge fan of Bozoma Saint John for a while now. What a fabulous story if she and some of the other high profile female hires at Uber come in and turn that place around.

I was fortunate enough to learn from Hamilton Helmer 's amazing course on strategy while at Netflix . It transformed how I think about strategy. That said, I will still be buying his new book 7 Powers: The Foundation of Business Strategy to have on hand as a reference. If you're at all interested in business strategy, I highly recommend you pick up a copy too. …see more

Emotional intelligence is a trait and a tool I wish I'd learned earlier in life. But it's often life that teaches you its value.

“I used to think that the world is fair. That it was a meritocracy. I no longer believe that. I think people who think it is an even playing field are probably like me - they have had it easy their whole life. They are probably a guy, they may be white, and they have likely been in the majority their whole life and they assume that it is like that for everyone else,” says Mike Gamson, Senior Vice President for LinkedIn Global Solutions. …see more

As I prepare to join the Global Press Journal team, I also get to edit some amazing stories from reporters in countries like #Nepal , #Uganda and #Mexico . I'm going to learn far more about the world from these women than I will ever be able to teach them! For example, read this terrific story by Fortune Moyo of #Zimbabwe , about how rising prescription drug prices are forcing more people to rely on #traditionalmedicines . What's so terrific about #GPJ reporting is that its driven by the journalists themselves, who feel the pulse of their communities and send story pitches back to editors. I can't wait to work with Fortune, and all of the other GPJ journalists!

Busy, busy, busy. So much reading to do, so much planning and prep to get ready for next week's #AspenIdeasHealth Festival. Have to be on my game for real, to keep up with the #HealthyCommunities Fellows I've been "mentoring" the past six months. They're all KILLING THE GAME in their respective fields, so much so that I'll be needing them to mentor ME when I see them next week! Check out this piece featuring Nicolle Gonzales , founder of the #ChangingWomanInitiative in #SantaFe . She's one of the myriad marvelous #midwives I've met during this past year, and she was featured in a recent #AmericanMagazine feature about her work supporting #indigenouswomen during #pregnancy and #childbirth .

On #WorldMentalHealthDay 2018, I'm focusing on a looming deadline in the most peaceful and charming of places: the Portland, OR kitchen of dear friends. The quiet and comfort that envelops me here has soothed my busy mind and body, and is helping me prepare for the upcoming Journalism and Women Symposium (JAWS) meeting st Mt. Hood. So for #WednesdayWisdom , I'm reminded of the need to seek beauty and solace in nature. "I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright."
