One of the hardest things for me to translate from real world to digital, has been the effect I sometimes have on people when they’re with me in person.

I tend to pump up expectations, hopes, and general moods of those I work with. People feel able to do more when I’m on the team.

I often lend a voice of reason and calm to situations that might be spiraling out of control. I pull people up when they’re sinking low. I soften views when a boss is taking a harsh look at the crew or customers.
