Seeing Yourself through Others’ Eyes (guest post by Deb Liu)

Okay, this post is a little different. Deb Liu, the CEO of Ancestry and my longtime friend and colleague, writes an amazing blog called Perspectives. Today we decided to do a blog swap where we each wrote about something the other person was bad at. I wrote about "How to say no" for her blog (something Deb is notoriously bad at, as you can see from her never-ending list of accomplishments), and she wrote "How to take credit" for mine. What I did not expect was for her to write an ode to how great I am :facepalm:. While I'm a little embarrassed to post this, I am so thankful to have a friend and partner like Deb — and I'm trying to learn the lessons she highlights in her post. Please check out her blog over on Perspectives for more of Deb’s lessons from tech, leadership, and parenthood! — Let me tell you about my friend Ami Vora. She is an incredible product leader who balances visionary leadership with focused execution and is well-respected by everyone who has worked with her.
