How best to support me
• Please connect with me if you have questions or are needing support from me.
• Feel free to challenge me, be open and honest. Know that I am flexible and open to new ideas, let`s be creative together.
• I communicate much more effectively in writing, my words often get jumbled or I can’t think of the word I am looking for. Be patient and ask me to clarify or put it in writing.
• Sometimes I need 5-10 minutes to process questions or information.
• Please try to meet deadlines as set in action plans or meeting minutes, I usually try to set deadlines in a way that will help me to prepare and remain organized.
• I prefer not to work in isolation, I like to have motivating people around me.
• I sometimes take on more than I should, if I say NO I am really at my limit.
• I need time to prepare so that I am comfortable with my task. If possible send me materials that will help me prepare well in advance
• I am a visual and experiential learner, I need to experience things or see them graphically to grasp the concept. Reading however is not my strong suit.
