Trying to distill the ideals I (try to) live by as a professional colleague:
- Focus on the work & forward motion.
- Liking coworkers is optional; being a good teammate / partner is not
- Seek to understand, not judge
- If feeling hurt: bruise slow; heal quick
- Assume the most generous interpretation possible
- Communicate intentions, hopes, & needs using direct, clear words
- Own your feelings, words, and actions; let others own theirs
- Hold space for others
- Tap out when you need to
