And I loved thinking about how to block and probe with onboarding! It’s one of the things I think about all the time – how can we help people become part of our team and strengthen the team in the process, and I think this helped me develop some ideas that I can implement and ways I can engage others to block and probe further. I think I may be up for a new role as “official onboarder” and if that is the case, look out world, we are going to have some onboarding fun.
