World emoji day 📆

It’s World Emoji Day today! 😜🤓The date originally referred to the day Apple premiered its iCal calendar application in 2002. The day, July 17, was displayed on the Apple Color Emoji version of the calendar emoji and the brainchild of Jeremy Burge, founder of Emojipedia.📣 We’ve spoken previously about our love of emojis and why workplaces should embrace them for those opportunities to colour your content with context, to the simplicity of a reaction, emojis can be powerful and fun. 🙌🤩😄And while our community platform doesn’t yet support them for post reactions 😱🙀 (they are coming sometime I’m sure, right @SebastiaanTerpstra?) you can include them in your posts and replies to help others better understand and communicate. Over the past year, we’ve asked all our Featured Makers about their favourite emojis and here’s what they have shared:👇@david.morgan 🤔 @darren.smith 🤣 @Rachel Rubinstein 😂 🤩 @banannastories ✨ @Andrew Fragias 😂 @pieter.strouven 💃 @gavin 🏆 and 👆 @jrmatth

Maker Matters - July 2022

Welcome to the July edition of Maker Matters, a monthly digest about our Product Makers community.Product thoughtOne of the skills I learned early in my product leadership journey was the importance of trusting my people and giving them the space to dive in deep, but also the support and psychological safety to surface things when they needed more discussion or perspective.As leaders, it is critical that we create an environment that is psychologically safe at the foundation so the team leans into interpersonal risk-taking, can easily express questions and concerns and have the motivation and autonomy to build customer-centric products that solve real problems and needs.As we roll into the summer, now is a great time for you to lean in and bring your curiosity to work. A few things you can do: Ask for feedback so you can uncover blind spots and increase trust Learn where people are at and their perspectives Explore what motivates or demotivates your team members Make the investmen

We operate our mentoring program on a quarterly cycle providing opportunities for mentors and mentees to connect. We ask that both mentors and mentees commit to at least three meetings over the quarter.Regardless of your functional role — product, design, engineering, product ops, or more — we’re excited to provide a way for people to learn and level up in their roles.Why are we doing this?

Maker Matters - June 2022

Welcome to the June edition of Maker Matters, a monthly digest about our Product Makers community.Product thoughtIt’s been an interesting few months in tech. Clearly the tech market, for the first time in awhile, is back in flux. Layoffs are accelerating, and founders are feeling less optimistic about the future and are tightening their belts and looking to extend their runway in a changing if not recessionary climate. We’ve been here before though and now, especially if you’re caught in change, is the best time to embrace it and find the positive.If you’re one who’s seen an organizational change or is now leading it, you might be interested in what I wrote back in 2020 about the 5Ps of effective organizational change management and the importance of communicating the purpose of change, involving the people impacted and implementing change, how to establish priorities, and an agile process that takes a sense-and-adapt approach while also demonstrating proof of the change.If you’re goin
