00:45:45 Aleta (She/Her): In trouble…
01:00:17 Stacey Rice (She/her): I believe I am an iS and tend to get emotional. Are their exercises to do to seep emotions in check?
01:04:47 Kalena M (she, her): I very much feel like an emotional, person focused person living in a D’s world in the work place. I resonate with that, Stacey!
01:05:05 Stacey Rice (She/her): Yes!
01:05:16 Stacey Rice (She/her): keep
01:05:59 Stacey Rice (She/her): Kalena, my husband is a D. It’s interesting.
01:06:46 Aleta Williams: I don’t say anything if I am not prepared
01:06:53 Stacey Rice (She/her): Thank you!
01:07:24 Gyasi Woods (she/her): I would agree with the being prepared part, boost your confidence before going in with a D. But also maybe focusing on this is how they communicate not necessarily who they are?
01:13:44 Stacey Rice (She/her): Kalena, that is a great idea!
01:14:11 Aleta Williams: Thanks great advice.
01:14:14 Jennifer (She/Her): I agree. Sometimes I have to remove myself from the situation briefly.
01:16:11 Stacey Rice (She/her): That is a great idea, Geena!
01:17:24 Stacey Rice (She/her): Debbie, that might come in handy with husband, who is a D!
01:17:41 Debbie (She/her): happy to share the tool. 🙂
01:18:55 Stacey Rice (She/her): I am sorry, but I have to run and pick up my son. Dana, thank you so much for this! Everyone, have a wonderful day! Thank you for sharing your insights! This has been so helpful! Jennifer, that’s a terrific idea!
01:19:19 Aleta Williams: That’s good Jennifer
01:21:04 Kristin Chasky: This is really helpful! I am in a place where I can’t speak but wanted to let you know – thanks for sharing!
01:30:23 Aleta Williams: Thanks for sharing Gyasi. I have two people in positions of authority over me like that. They make me crazy because I am a CS.
01:31:08 Gyasi Woods (she/her): It’s super tough but talking though this helped! @Aleta
01:31:09 Aleta Williams: Drains my energy and makes me not want to be involved at all.
01:31:15 Gyasi Woods (she/her): ^^ that part
01:31:59 Kalena M (she, her): Gyasi–I have found myself naturally being similar to your boss in my style with a high focus on the social, personal relationship building aspect. One thing my team asked from me was to provide them with set agendas and a post meeting recap of to-do items with set deadlines. This was welcomed feedback from them and I appreciated them bringing it up, even if it naturally is not my go-to behavior or style. If there is any welcomed space to make the ask.
01:32:00 Debbie (She/her): good question
01:33:18 Gyasi Woods (she/her): Kalena – I think that’s mostly what I needed with her because I love her personality and the warmth she brings but quite chaotic for me with no agenda, no set deadlines, etc. It might be more helpful if I have team members requesting this as well. Unfortunately it was just the two of us so I was friend, colleague and employee. Thank you so much!
01:33:56 Aleta Williams: I have started stepping back and not talking so much. Only making a move when they say which so deflates me but it keeps the peace
01:34:08 Gyasi Woods (she/her): O quick question – you said it’s welcome feedback …do you think how they asked you helped you with it being open to it?
01:34:56 Gyasi Woods (she/her): I ended up doing that too Aleta, but it wasn’t good for me. I literally felt like I was going crazy. I want to bring myself forward which is why I’m here haha
01:37:59 Jennifer (She/Her): Thank you! So helpful!
01:38:01 Geena (she/her): Thanks, Dana!!
01:38:07 Debbie (She/her): Thank you so much!
01:38:08 Aleta Williams: Gyasi…That is why I am here also. To learn me so I can deal with you.
01:38:30 Gyasi Woods (she/her): Haha yup 🙂 @aleeta
01:38:36 Gyasi Woods (she/her): Thank you!
01:38:39 Debbie (She/her): bye
