One thing that might surprise you about me…

People think of me as an enigma at work, I wear many faces!

People are surprised after working with me and seeing my serious side, that I also have a very fun loving and carefree side.

Teammates might misunderstand me as...

Insincere

My enthusiasm may not be perceived as genuine.

Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Inflexible people who are incapable of growth and change!

Personally I am on a journey of constant self-improvement.

I really admire teammates who are…

Positive, solution focused, trustworthy and fun!

We spend more working hours with our teammates, than we do with our loved ones. If we don't like what we do, if we don't like who we do it with, then we might as well find something else to do! :)

My workplace setup

AYOMA DE SILVA's workplace setup

Book... obviously! I love to read to relax. I also like surrounding myself with inspirational things, such as my art wall and yearly vision board. I enjoy having a window to the outside world, while I work. Through my little window, I can watch the sun rise in the morning, during early meetings and I love watching birds fly in formation. Being able to take a break from the busy-ness of work to appreciate nature, helps to recharge my battery.
