Salley Community Update, October 2024
Reflections on my San Francisco trip, recap on last Salley Session on 'Effective Communication', upcoming Session on 'Coaching, Feedback and Accountability', etc.
Hey friends,
I’m finally back in New York after spending the summer in San Francisco! My trip was very productive. I got spend time with some incredibly successful founders and engineers who’ve built incredible products and companies. The city was beaming with excitement about AI.
From coffee shops to restaurants and even at birthday parties, many of the conversations I overheard and participated in was centered around the quest for infinite intelligence and how it applies to all parts of our lives.
That being said, we also made significant progress on all fronts at Salley across research, product development, go-to-market and the team. I’ll share more on these at a later date. With that, let’s move into what we’ve been up to over the last month:
We hosted a Salley Session on ‘Effective Communication”.




We hosted yet another exciting leadership growth session on "Effective Communication" a few weeks ago. Andrew Cohen, founder and CEO of Brainscape joined us to discuss his experience and insights from leading his company over the last 14+ years.
There were lots of learnings and laughter afterwards during the workshop session.
Big shoutout to Derek Lee and 115 Grand for the video and audio marketing partnership for Salley Sessions. They took these stunning photos :)
We're making a number of awesome changes to amplify the impact of these sessions. Stay tuned!
You’re invited to join our next Salley Session on “Coaching, Feedback, & Accountability”.
Join us for an exclusive leadership growth session focused on demystifying the fractious side of managing: coaching, feedback, & accountability.
