Performance Reviews - Discussed the performance review process, specifically identifying a need to explore how to offer more coaching on providing productive feedback, and how to provide/receive feedback more consistently throughout the year. Executives will be making any merit-based increase recommendations this week.

Leadership Calls - Discussed how to optimize monthly calls with executives and directors. Stephanie Ryan from The Coaching Studio will support a co-design process as part of their broader engagement around leadership development in 2019. Early Interest in focusing on cross-team collaborations and learnings, and how we’re moving the needle on work that advances our org-wide OKRs.

Strategy Retreat - Further narrowed the theme for the April 25-26 retreat to “Working like a movement.” Early discussion around exploring three timely and high-impact initiatives that relate to our org-wide OKRs and that we can advance thinking/planning over two days. Possible candidates include the EU misinformation (and related) campaigns, deepening engagement with fellows host orgs and engagement with the Internet Health Report. Need to collaborate with Sarah Allen on designing the retreat and will finalize the list of participants by March 13. Started to brainstorm potential guest speakers on movement building and AI.
