Cheers to 10 years, Brittany! Truly an inspiration. 💚☕
It’s my 10-year Coffeeversary! A whole decade ago, I threw my hat in the ring for a job I thought I’d never get. Within weeks, I’d landed the role, relocated to Seattle, and moved into a rental furnished with nothing but an air mattress, a lawn chair, and a coffee maker (priorities!). And so began my journey as a latte lawyer. Here are 10 things I’ve learned on this 10-year adventure: 🏃♀️Remove fear from the equation and bet on yourself. 🤝 Relationships are the key. Build them and nurture them. 🥂 Celebrate the success of others as if it were your own. 🎁 A great manager is a rare gift. 👩💻Stop re-reading your own emails and move on. Am I the only one with this toxic work trait? 🌱 Growth requires risk and loss. They go hand-in-hand. 💪 The world needs less idea guys. Be the colleague who does the things. 💡Everyone is just trying to do their best with the information and resources they have. No one, at any level, has it all figured out. ☕️ Remember that, even in the hard times, you might be living someone else’s career dream. 💚 Be a good partner. Express gratitude. Offer praise. Check in on people when they are hurting. Remove barriers. Give more than you receive. Thank you, Starbucks, for the most incredible—and the most caffeinated—decade I could have imagined! #tobeapartner #tenyears #notjazzhands
