Reflection
To truly make an impact, you need to develop the ability to influence other teams to align them with your vision.
I aligned the stakeholders to define a product that would work well for us, but I failed to include content teams in the conversation. From this, I have learned to include layout, writing, and illustration teams involved in the conversation so that the product and its content are more harmonious.
