Love this article from Cate Hall on how to be more agentic 1. Court rejection - ask for things that feel unreasonable. If you're only asking for things you can get, you're not aiming high enough 2. Seek real feedback - give people a way to provide it anonymously 3. Increase your surface area for luck - "the more confident I am that a conversation is relevant, the less likely I am to discover something exciting during it. Nearly all of my most fruitful collaborations over the last 3 years have come out of meetings I booked almost at random" 4. Assume everything is learnable - figure out the best way to do it 5. Learn to love the moat of low status: "making changes in your life, especially when learning new skill sets, requires you to cross a moat of low status, a period of time where you are actually bad at the thing or fail to know things that are obvious to other people" 6. Don’t work too hard - burnout is the ultimate agency-killer https://usefulfictions.substack.com/p/how-to-be-more-agentic

These are great! One would think as one ages and has more experience these inputs would be less relevant but I find quite the opposite

One of the best reads so far, just read it and feels like she wrote it with full of heart. So many things to learn from here.
