Authenticity

@jesslynnrose

1:1 or 1:many exchanges that

feel real and hold value

@jesslynnrose

😐

@jesslynnrose

Does it scale?

@jesslynnrose

How can we measure it?

@jesslynnrose

Humans can’t scale and retain

authenticity.

@jesslynnrose

You can only measure

authenticity by documenting

failures.

@jesslynnrose

If real human exchanges didn’t

matter, we wouldn’t have jobs.

@jesslynnrose

Unscientific polling time…

@jesslynnrose

How can we do more real things?

@jesslynnrose

Listen more.

@jesslynnrose

We’re here to listen to our communities

and users and speak for them.

@jesslynnrose

Do less.

@jesslynnrose

You need space to take care of

yourself to care for others in real ways.

@jesslynnrose

Slow down.

@jesslynnrose

Give people the time their viewpoints deserve.

Give yourself time.

@jesslynnrose

Focus on things that matter.

@jesslynnrose

Your company has a values

statement. You need one too.

@jesslynnrose

Compromise knowingly.

@jesslynnrose

@jesslynnrose

Be aware as you balance your

professional image with yourself.

@jesslynnrose

Frame your work as service.

@jesslynnrose

Serving communities and a

better version of our industry is the best we can do.

@jesslynnrose

Keep things in perspective.

@jesslynnrose

Our jobs are fantastic*.

@jesslynnrose

*Overall. Work in outreach can also be stressful, demanding and not all jobs are going to treat you

well.

Take care of yourself.

@jesslynnrose

We get paid to write about, talk about and think about tech and

humans.

@jesslynnrose

76% of us make £60k or over.
