Sam Chavez (she/they/he)

Welcome Back! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

It's the final week of Mercury Retrograde so naturally, I lost all of this week's newsletter. So instead, I recorded a video to discuss agile strategy in a world that's constantly changing.

The Surfboard Strategy for Uncertain Times

What a week! I spilled my coffee on the top shelf of the fridge helplessly watching it drip onto my produce & snacks. That's Mercury Retrograde for you!

Whether you believe in astrology or not, there are always those times where everything just a little bit harder. You make more mistakes. Your communication is off. People are missing you. It happens! That's why finding flow in your strategy is key to staying effective in the global haunted horror ride that we find ourselves on.

Instead of re-writing a whole article, I decided to record a video on how to pivot when things go awry! Watch the preview below or Flowering Members can scroll down for the full reflection plus related resources from our Resource Hub.
