EMPOWERING /’əm’pou(ə)r/ verb: give (someone) the authority or power to
do something. @iamjll
Creating and sustaining a strong feeling of **autonomy, empowerment and
trust** for our merchants by delivering the **right content and tools**, in the proper format and context, and at the **right time**, reducing some of the inherent product friction along the way.
@iamjll It’s about educating users, without them knowing.
