Come to me for
- Reflective problem solving
- A chat
Support me with
- Taking information in - workshops and long documents
Conditions I like to work in
- Calm, with plenty of time to do things
- I like to work closely with people to solve problems - I really value getting people's opinions to help triangulate my thoughts
- I like to have time to reflect on problems
Times/Hours I like to work
- Weekdays 9-5:30/6
- I start to burn out if I work late and I need good downtime to operate well
The best way to communicate with me
- I enjoy face to face communication but can find days packed with calls tiring
- Emails are good as easier to refer back to and reread if needed
- Slack is fine too for quick stuff, although I tend to mute channel alerts to 'mentions only'
The way I like to receive feedback
- Face to face - although written is ok too
- I can take things to heart - particularly when tired/stressed
Things that I need are
- Time to reflect - I often don't have the answer straight away
- Social time - I miss being in a room with people and I value sharing thoughts and feelings about life outside work
- Calm downtime to process - I try and meditate at least once a day
Things I struggle with
- Having answers on the spot
- Workshops - listening/taking in lots of information
- Reading or writing long documents
- Staying on track - I'm easily distracted and can feel pulled/excited in lots of different directions at once
- Conflict - I get upset and struggle to shake it off
Things I love
- Working calmly as a team to produce great work with all of the details attended to
- Taking care over whatever I'm doing
- Laughing together
Other things to know about me
- I'm highly sensitive and identify closely with the HSP profile
- Sometimes the world can feel overwhelming, like it's in HD
- I experience high highs and low lows! My moods can shift quite dramatically and that's hard sometimes
