The people I work with. Knowing they have my back and that I will support them as well. Going into an environment of kindness with also a mindset of momentum.
Knowing I can choose the projects which will align with my core and heart of bringing joy and energy to workshop experiences.
Someone who brings new ideas to the table and can go back and forth with me quickly.
People who value building and collaboration in public and are willing to try and maybe even fail quickly.
Showing me you have passion about an idea and have thought about how it impacts the client and the team as a whole. Revealing the path ahead that you've spent time thinking about even if you don't have all the answers.
Pushback for the sake of pushback. Give me feedback sure, but pushing back just to exert power doesn't sit well with me. Be honest, transparent, and help us keep intentional momentum.
Slack is the best form of communication for me. I truly value transparency so keeping conversations in shared channels as much as possible is ideal for me. Text can be a back up but I rarely give my phone number out to clients.
I hate using email with a passion. I'll use it when needed but it's not my default.
Be candid but kind. Identify what happened—when and where. Add in any potential suggestions for taking a different path, or directing me to where to find that.
Don't dance around anything, I can't handle the fluff.
Try to push even more on my tasks that are on the table and sometimes get overwhelmed. I am working on learning how to take a breath, step back, and then re-engage.
