WIP Newsletter #8
We cohosted our first event with Omidyar Network last night. Thanks to the WIP Ladies that made it — loved your engagement and feedback. And a big thanks to the incredibly diverse team at Omidyar for hosting us.
Our fantastic speaker, Lauren Weinstein had great tips to share on managing anxiety, the importance of being both warm and competent, the proper use of gestures, the power of vocal variety as well as having a concise framework for presentations, in-person pitches and Q&As. Check out resonatecoaching.co for more tips from Lauren.

What we’re reading:
Radical Candor is an essential leadership tool that Product Managers can apply to their teams as well. Radical candor emerges from a combination of caring personally and challenging directly. Kim Scott, CEO of Candor Inc has coined a helpful framework: HIPPP. In her words — “Radical candor is humble, it’s helpful, it’s immediate, it’s in person — in private if it’s criticism and in public if it’s praise — and it doesn’t personalize.” Learn how to apply Radical Candor to your team interactions in “Radical Candor — The surprising secret to being a good boss.”
