I may not respond immediately, but I will also let you know if I can’t immediately attend to or focus on a request. • I prefer over-communication. Feel free to add me to any chats, docs, meetings, emails, etc as you see fit. I would prefer to decline something than to realise too late that I should have participated. | | 📝 How I best receive feedback | • Receiving recognition: I will confess that I feel both really happy and somewhat awkward when receiving praise. If you genuinely think I’m doing a good job with something, please let me know so that I know that I’m doing good work. • Receiving feedback: I like receiving casual feedback 1:1, preferably in a timely fashion so the context is still fresh.
