What's my story?

Why do companies work with me?
Every company I've worked with has had smarter and more talented teammates than me. For me to keep up, I to learn to ask the dumb questions that might seem obvious or the scary question we might not want to hear the answer to. It's amazing what gets uncovered when everyone has an assumption.

How is conflict dealt with?
-
Separate fact from judgment. A client might tell me their opinion of what's wrong, but we need raw data of what they are experiencing that led them to this belief.
-
Know why it matters. Is there external pressure? From who? This is where compassion and empathy come in. This is where they feel heard.
-
Set commitments of who will do what by when and how they will know.
-
Confirm Resolution: Make sure I tested and verified the resolutions and then make sure the reporter of the issue also confirmed the issue they reported was resolved.
