A few days ago, I wrote my fail list of 2020<\/a>. But it's not all doom & gloom over here. I am definitely grateful for everything I've achieved in 2020, amidst the global pandemic. I'd like to share with you top five things I've done that I considered most impactful. <\/p>\n

Without any further ado, here is my success list of 2020.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\ud83d\udcd5 I wrote and published two books to help professionals in the tech industry navigate top two challenges of the year - remote work & job search; The Accidental Remote Manager<\/a> and Nail That Interview - Tips for interviewing for tech jobs remotely<\/a>. <\/li>\n
  2. \nI am on track to finish my 5th book - \ud83d\udca1 The Engineering Manager's How-To Guide in Jan next year (you can pre-order<\/a> here). It is gonna be a great book as it is very targeted for engineering managers. In this ebook, you won't find generic advice like having a regular 1:1's, giving feedback, etc. Yes those things are are absolutely important, but they are not specific to an engineering manager's role.<\/li>\n
  3. \nI coached and mentored 15 professionals in the tech industry and 90% of them were women in tech.\u2764\ufe0f <\/li>\n
  4. \nI have been averaging 10k steps a day since April this year. It's helping me keep fit & unblock my creativity, I wrote about it in my blog post: 4Ls Retrospective Of Working From Home and Homeschooling as an Engineering Manager and a Mom<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. \nLast but not least, I started trying a lot more things and putting myself out there more this year and I'm finally ok with not getting a \ud83c\udfc6 every single time for my efforts. (PS: Not a real trophy - figurative speech.) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If this year had taught us anything, it's that...<\/p>\n

    We are stronger than we think, more resilient than we know and more talented than we give ourselves credit for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    See you in 2021.<\/p>\n
