And @MiroHQ also for workshop templates (also occasionally use it for content graphics. Easy to make quick diagrams, etc - like this buff.ly/3pZyzfy)

I use Google Drive to share most of my resources and links. Easy to keep things in one place, leverage folder structures and be able to simply replace the file with a new version without having to update all the links.

Final Cut Pro for all the heavy lifting with editing. I typically edit > export from Final Cut > import into CapCut or Veed for captions and final touches.
I've now switched to my personal site which is run by @squarespace - this is a space I want to give more focus to. Watch this space I've been looking at both Substack and Convertkit.

As mentioned, I use Squarespace for my personal site 👉 buff.ly/45v9Z6D
I use @LearnWorlds for @ProductPathways online courses. Course videos are hosted on @Vimeo bc of the ability to replace videos without having to update links.

One week ago, I got a call from a friend at 10pm at night.
7 hours later I was on an international flight 🛫
I got a text on Saturday night from a friend who runs a training business
Sensing the urgency in his voice I replied and he immediately called.
/1
What had happened was the trainer had pulled out 24 hours before they were scheduled to start.
This was the first of several courses with a new client and was not the first time this person had cancelled. They had already rescheduled this training once before.
/2
With the impact of the economy globally right now, my friend really couldn't afford to lose this client.
His business was on the line and had no where else to go.

⏰ Timeline Roadmap (❌ best to avoid where possible)
🗺️ Now-Next-Later
🚀 Release Roadmap
🎭 Theme Roadmap
🌳 Tree Roadmap
🌟 Outcome Roadmap
❤️ Customer Journey Roadmap
💭 Dream Mapping (thanks @squadformers!)
👇🧵/1
1) ⏰ Timeline Roadmap
First up, is the most common and controversial…
the ‘Timeline Roadmap’.
Timeline Roadmaps are common because of their dates. They're similar to project plans and can give a false sense of certainty about when something will be delivered.
/2
This makes Timeline Roadmaps one to avoid. However, they can still be effective when dates are communicated as indicative, not 'set in stone'.

Here's a list of prompting questions I compiled for the Stakeholder Management Essentials course on @ProductPathways to help you have better conversations in your Stakeholder. 1:1s. I use these questions regularly.
What would you add?
@ProductPathways -What makes one-on-ones the most valuable for you?
-What are your current focus areas?
-What are your current concerns about this initiative / feature / opportunity / product?
-What’s top of mind?
-What are some things you’d like to discuss?
@ProductPathways -What are some things that went well last week?
-Is there anything you’re currently not completely satisfied with?
-What are your top priorities right now? And how can I help you with them?
-What can I help you with?
-Anything you’d like me to do more of? Less of?
Instead, they provide clarity and context so stakeholders can say ‘no’ to themselves.
🧵👇
/1
'No' without context can damage relationships and lose buy-in.
Instead a better way is to provide clarity and context so that stakeholders come to the 'no' conclusion themselves.
/2
Rather than saying 'no' ask:
-How does this fit our current strategy?
-Can you help me understand how this helps us achieve our current goal?
-Can you share the supporting data on this problem space?

One of the best books on building an agile organisation is not what you'd expect.
But 'Team of Teams' is a bible for building a resilient and adaptive organisation.
Here's serveral enablers from the book 👇
/1
🧠 Share consciousness
Leaders must cultivate a shared consciousness across the organisation.
This is achieved through extreme transparency and sharing of information. As well as a shared purpose.
/2
🎯 Empowered Execution
Once we have a shared consciousness leaders much enable "empowered execution". A shared consciousness provides the necessary information to distribute decision making.
Teams need to be empowered to make decisions and pivot where necessary.
