The Questions That Matter

Two questions have stayed with me recently:

  1. "Why are there frequent job changes on your LinkedIn?"
  2. "What does true co-creation look like for you?"

These weren't trick questions. They were real ones — the kind that reveal who someone is, not just what they've done.

On Career Transitions

When asked about the job changes, I responded with what felt true (thank you Granola.so for your transcript):

I've always been intentional about where I spend my energy. Every move has been tied to growth, to learning something new, or to stepping into the kind of environment where I could truly stretch. I've left roles by choice — not due to performance issues — but because I felt the arc had completed, or the environment no longer allowed me to thrive.

I'm most drawn to places where there's product ambiguity and room to bring clarity. Where cross-functional collaboration isn't just a slide deck idea — it's how work actually happens. I look for teams with strong technical minds I can learn from, and people who are genuinely passionate about what they're building. I'm not chasing a ladder. I'm chasing momentum and meaning."

On True Co-Creation

Then came a question I wish more people asked:

What does true co-creation look like for you?

And I knew exactly how to answer:

True co-creation is about pace, trust, and alignment. It's not about endless prep or sign-offs — it's about shortening the space between planning and building.

When it works well, we move from input to action quickly — gathering what we need, syncing as a team, then creating something tangible within days. Even hours, sometimes. It doesn't need to be final. It just needs to be real.

What matters is having clear direction, even if informal — a shared pulse. When you can feel the 'go' without having to ask twice, that's where the magic begins. That's the kind of collaboration I seek.

Final Thoughts

These questions went deeper than the usual script. They asked about intention. About how I move, and how I create.

And we need more of those.
