I was asked “Are there specific steps we should take or any tips that could give us an unfair advantage?” the other day for an interview - apparently I answered this - which I’m quite proud of past Tash for coming up with 😹

been listening to @janethughes.bsky.social future farming podcast while looking for examples of policy design, ep5 with Sarah Evered delivered the goods, I then tootled off to read more, along with a great blog on being bold, I found this brilliant answer to the Q “to do your job well you need…”

To do your job well you need...

The serenity to accept the things you cannot change, courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

On post it’s with a sharpie

You may have done the salary dance, it’s not fair and it’s not def not something that would get a 10 out of 10 on strictly. I found out…repeatedly different moves you could pull-like negotiating?! It never occurred to me-however it did to several peers who came in way over me in💰for same role

People that n bastion point out it’s good for org, bad for them

Salary man says but it’s exciting mystery

“Different listeners - listen differently” simple but very true Beth Rafulski ‘autistic autism researcher’ stated this, it joined some dots in my mind tash-willcocks.medium.com/different-li... #illustration #activelistening #curiosity #behaviour

Different listeners, listen differently

Active Listening is usually followed by ‘top tips’ and ‘eye contact’ is usually top of that list*.

The crab effect, comes from the behavior of crabs in a bucket, (I’d like to say they should not be in the bucket-but il stay on track) so where a single crab could escape the crab effect is that they pile on, pull others back, resulting in the entire crabby bucket clans demise….

I recently got pulled to the side by airport security who asked if I had a knife in my pocket. I have a coat with GIANT POCKETS, but I was pretty certain I had not squirrelled away a knife in them. I paused before answering oddly, but then answered no…
