I love this! For me, it all starts with acknowledgement. You have to first be convinced that there's something that isn't serving you. This is hard because usually, it's a pattern that's served you in the past, but just isn't serving you now. Letting go of that can also come with its own set of grief, which can also be difficult to process. Thank you for sharing your journey so openly!

Co-creation is the best way to go from I to we (assuming you have complementary collaboration styles). Thanks for sharing!

I love that you mentioned co-creation! In my experience, it's the fastest way to go from "You said X, that doesn't make sense" to "How can we solve this problem?" Assuming you have a partner you can collaborate well with, it's a great strategy.

This is great advice for product marketing, too, where founders that usually don’t have marketing experience have strong POV about how to format collateral.

Absolutely. For so many of these tips I find that they really translate well to adjacent roles like Product Marketing.
