Observation created over 4 years agoI mentioned in a shout out on Monday how Jaki had agreed to facilitate some meetings for the Practice discovery squad, even though she's no longer serving Practice directly.
Well, we've had two of those meetings, and I wanted to share why I'm overflowing with gratitude for Jaki right now. Some of the things that she did so wonderfully in these meetings:
- was patient and never rushed us, focusing on making sure we felt ready to move on
- asked great questions to dig deeper into some thoughts, and clarify other thoughts to help with understanding
- happily agreed to a second unplanned meeting when the first meeting wasn't enough (going back to the first point)
- even though she'd been on the original discovery crew and we were questioning some of the work that was done, she held back from explaining it all to us (as justification, which I would be super tempted to do!) until we were ready and had specific questions to ask
These meetings have helped relieve a lot of my stress and uncertainty about the next steps on the Practice discovery crew, and I attribute a lot of that success to Jaki using her skills to make sure our time was used as effectively as possible. Thanks Jaki!
