Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Lack of decision making or worse back tracking!

It means we get nothing done, and growth suffers

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

Closed, quiet and less open to feedback.

Give me some breathing space, I bounce back quickly!

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AMzero back to back meetingsmostly team time

I am most focussed in the mornings due to my medication. I can be overwhelmed and get tired from back to back meetings, I do find more time with my team rejuvenates me.

emailslack/email okwith kindnesswith context

I like to get feedback when I'm expecting it. With my disability, if I'm in a meeting and receiving unexpected feedback I can have a cry response. I may need to take a break, and I would appreciate a separate meeting to discuss it so I can prepare.

My areas for growth

Manages feelings of self and others during conflictMaintains effective work life balanceStays composed throughout conflict or difficult situations

I have ADHD and it's a super power but it comes with a weakness. Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. This means I feel rejection more than others, and these emotions cause huge distress to me. I need to build coping mechanisms into the work place so I can get stronger, but also need understanding from colleagues.

My number one goal at work is to drive projects forward. If I'm standing still, I am moving backwards. It's important for me to build a team with great relationships that complement our working styles.
