I prefer environments with clear scopes, deadlines, and expectations when possible.

Allowing me to use my creativity to work in my own way allows me to create ownership of my work.

Having time to process information/requests before responding allows me to gather and organize my thoughts.

I like to be allowed to pursue individual projects that support our shared department goals.

To be my most productive and centered, I like to create blocks of uninterrupted work time.

I appreciate time for professional development (about 2 hours per week).

Connecting with leaders in other areas better connects me community needs and my own career development possibilities.

7am-4pm, but I adhere to 8:30-5pm.

I prefer to do heads-down work on individually in the mornings and in groups in the afternoon.

I prefer to communicate synchronously when more than a few exchanges are required, if you’d like me to explain something, would like to discuss a topic.

I appreciate emails with bulleted lists and clear questions with only a few paragraphs. If my answer is too long or not straightforward, I appreciate synchronous conversation.

Teams is my least-checked communication tool, and I find it overwhelming when I am engaged in multiple concurrent conversations.

When receiving feedback from multiple stakeholders after a project, I prefer to collect anonymous survey/poll responses or one-on-one.

Receiving feedback from a group is overwhelming and can embarrass me. I prefer one-on-one conversations, and I’m also open to including a mediator if needed.

Feedback given during a presentation is distracting.

I appreciate the annual evaluation model that HR uses, which allows the supervisor to present feedback in writing and allows the employee to review and process on their own with an opportunity to reply. But, I acknowledge this isn’t always possible.

When receiving feedback on written deliverables, I prefer receiving clear recommendations using the method I solicited feedback. If feedback is not straightforward, I prefer synchronous conversation.

When receiving feedback on developing as a leader, I prefer exploring my opportunities by reflecting on my answers to prompts.

To stay on task, I need clear scope boundaries on projects.

To maintain momentum, I need regular (weekly or bi-weekly) check-ins with my supervisor, key players (Steph D, Peter, etc.), and project participants.

I learn best by providing resources and allowing me to try on my own. When needed, I will ask for help at the next designated check-in.

I have a hard time with context switching, so I dedicate time for rapid-fire conversations by utilizing office hours.
