Battles

My grandma told me yesterday that I was my mother’s son… in reference to the fact that I seek out battles sometimes unnecessarily. If I get mad about something, I tend to very aggressively attack the issue and sometimes those people around the issue.

Team Lead One on Ones

I find it very helpful to have my team leads conduct one on one meetings with my team members. They review work and priorities to be done, previous work that has already been completed, and discuss any other outstanding issues. I am planning on talking to my team about this in our Monday company meeting. Hopefully it is something that will continue to deliver better results to Coalition’s clients!

Rock climbing

I had a great session of rock climbing yesterday. Matt and I worked on a couple of good 11c leads, then did a little top rope. I got there early and did about an hour of bouldering and talked with Kristin and Gil for awhile. Good times! I think I was there 5:30-9:30.
