What can you do day one?
The first day is essential. It sets the tone. A great first day makes it easier to have a great first week, which makes it easier to have a great first month etc.
Three things I like to remember on first days.
- Which experiences in my past can help? – As a human being, we have a ton of experiences to draw from when it comes to a “first day.” Think about school, work, relationships. If I asked you to think for a few minutes, I believe more than a few firsts would come to mind.
- How did I help someone else’s first day? – We witness a ton of the first-day action ourselves, as observers. What helped someone else on their first day? Feel free to ask for those things on your first day to help you get settled in.
- What can I do differently? – What risk can I take here? New experiences only happen if you break from old traditions.
Today is the first day for me, as I am now starting at datalogue.io as their senior product marketer.
Visit their site and if they seem interesting, shoot me a note, I’d love to chat.
