How I Like To Work

I like to try and block out time to get specific tasks completed so I can focus. I love working with people over zoom and debating ideas.

The hours I work

I work full time Monday to Friday from Sydney. My standard work hours are 8am AEDT/10am NZDT till 5pm AEDT/7pm NZDT. At some points during the day I attend lectures and tutorials for University these time can be found in my calendar. I am often happy and able to take meetings slightly earlier ir later in the evening if my calander is particularly busy but please ask before you book something in outside of my normal working hours.

I prefer to receive feedback

I prefer to receive feedback via zoom or face to face, and I will often take notes. I like to be asked if now is a good time to give me feedback so that I can ensure I am in the best possible headspace for it. I like specific feedback that is provided promptly.

I will often take time to process feedback and then may come back to you for clarification or with more questions.

I prefer to give feedback

I prefer to give feedback in a way that someone is comfortable accepting it.

I learn best when

I like to read and or watch videos.

I like to be managed

I like to be treated as an equal and work best in a collaborative environment.

I do not respond well to

I do not respond well to behaviour that I perceive to be condescending or rude. Behaviours that I see as patronising include, micromanaging, trying to solve problems for me rather than supporting me to solve my problems. Behaviour that I see as rude include turning up late to meetings without letting me know that you are running late—cancelling meetings at the last minute, not responding to messages that I have sent you. I like a certain level of ambiguity but do not respond well to too much uncertainty.

You know I am having a bad day when

I go quiet. I tell you, or I am frustrated.

You can help me when I'm having a bad day by

Asking if you can do anything to help

I like to celebrate something I've been working on by

Not sure. Maybe a celebratory chat.

Something you should know about me

I live with multiple conditions that affect the way I work and sometimes make it more challenging.

ADHD

Dislexia

I am very sensitive about my spelling.
