Things I'd love to learn

Right now I'm ramping up on sales strategy

In general, I like to learn about anything that is prominently adjacent to what I'm doing so that I can be the most effective teammate possible.

Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Demanding execution without appropriate context setting

I don't like to blindly drive. I need to understand the value of something before I commit my time to it.

My Achilles Heel is…

If people like to only work in the hypothetical/visionary. I need tangible.

Come back to earth every once in a while when visionary collaboration is needed.

😬😧🥴 Recently went outside my comfort zone…

Public speaking always gives me anxiety. I can get there with practice tho

Whether it's a team offsite or my sister's wedding, if I need to have the mic in my hand then I generally get pretty stressed. Luckily, I've never passed out!

My favorite movie

Jurassic Park

The flow of the plot is amazing. It doesn't require a love story. And the special fx still looks good which is mind-boggling.

My biggest fear

Being in conflict or separated from others, being without connection

I don't mind being without connection but in general unresolved negative separation is highly stressful for me. It can beat me up for days.

I work best as a…

Some mix of execution and strategy. I love doing tasks and the high-level strategy conversations.

Most of my work falls into this category. I'm constantly executing but taking the time to ensure that the teams understand the underlying strategy.
