What I intend to write about

And why you might care

I enjoy writing, although admittedly, I haven’t done a lot of it in public view. I can take the time to think through and express myself with a depth that I rarely achieve conversationally. In that sense, it has a much higher degree of fidelity with my thoughts, while also serving as a medium where I can replay my thoughts to myself and gauge their quality.

The “replay my thoughts” and “gauge their quality” bits are therefore the biggest motivators behind another serious attempt at regular writing.

I also just turned 40. The older I get, the more I realize how often I tap into and rely on my unconscious mind, and so the responsible thing to do seems to be to explore and surface more of my unconscious into my conscious.

This is particularly important to me as a manager, as someone who has been, is, and will hopefully continue to be responsible for serving my team(s) and the organization(s) I work with.

I expect to write about my experiences and thoughts, around my role as an Engineering Manager in the software industry, towards the goal of leading more consciously, thoughtfully and competently.

If you think this sounds interesting, I’d welcome the company on the journey.
