KATIE
When I am stressed/upset I.
Keep it bottled up, sometimes cry (when I bottle things up for too long). Normally like to cry on my own,
not in front of others
Give me time to think/process. Be patient when I explain why I am stressed and upset.
May smile, talk, laugh. However, Im not always over the top expressive so I can still be happy even
though Im not doing these things.
In a one on one setting; also it is helpful for me to see it on paper. Seeing physical words helps me
process and put those things into action. I love words on paper.
Also in a one on one setting, sparingly as well. Minimal praise makes the praise more valuable/genuine.
Also, Im a fan of warm fuzzes (words on paper again).
Taking time to figure out why I was bothered and approach the situation calmly
Being late/when others are late; when others arent reliable/dont follow through; when someone
involves themselves in something that isnt their business; when someone isnt honest
Organization (Im a big planner), responsible, attention to detail, commitment and investment (when I
care about something I REALLY care, fully immersed), compassionate, calm

My pet peeves are.
When people are intentionally disrespecting someone else because they feel that they are
entitled to do so
i.e. if someone is angry so they intentionally attack someone else insecurity because
they feel like being angry gives them an excuse to disrespect someone elses life or
identity
i.e. if someone disrespects a customer service worker/ maintenance because they are
the customer
My BEST attributes and personal/professional strengths are.
I am intentional. I usually put in a lot of effort and thought to what I do and the reasons behind
it.
I am fairly patient.
ALLY
When I am stressed/upset I.
Am visible about it. I get quiet and zone out a lot more than I usually do. Ill always let you know when
and why Im feeling this type of way, but if its something really personal I tend to be slightly more
closed up about it.
Give me time and space. If I do need advice or someone to just listen, Ill ask you directly.
Am also visible about it. I talk quickly, loudly, and excessively. I joke around and become very animated.
Let me vibe it out. But if youre really not feeling it, let me know and Ill do my best to respect that.
Otherwise, feel free to join me!
Privately and ASAP. I also hardcore dig constructive feedback so please dish it out to me whenever you
deem it fitting.
Calling in, not out. Almost always with a goal for a resolution or next steps in mind. I feel pretty darn
comfortable addressing and handling conflict but similarly to constructive feedback, I prefer to handle it
privately, timely, honestly, and openly.
I handle conflict with my supervisors by
Same as above.

HILARY
When I am stressed/upset I. Tend to get loud and also quiet. If I feel comfortable I may voice my
frustration, if not then I will stay quiet and maybe even cry.
When I am stressed/upset I need my staff to. Offer feedback and strategies for me to excel, not
necessarily solutions but suggestions on how to improve for next time, also give me time and
dont crowd me it overwhelms me.
When I am happy and excited I. Get very loud and physical, I will hug or touch people. I like to
express my joy so I will be very loud and boisterous when I am happy. If someone does
something to make me happy I might cry. ( I cry a lot)
When I am happy and excited I need my staff to Share my joy, and be happy with me, I am very
empathetic so if someone is sad/mad my mood will be low like theirs.
I prefer to receive constructive feedback from my staff/supervisors. On a one on one basis, or with
a small group of 3-4 people. I enjoy constructive criticism but it makes me frustrated when
people tell me what Im doing wrong without a suggestion on how to change that.
I prefer to receive praise from my staff/supervisors . Whenever they feel like it is necessary, I
appreciate letters that I can read later for myself or in person is fine as well. I like genuine
remarks/ praises so please be honest and real with me, it makes me feel nice to know my work
doesnt go unnoticed.
I handle conflict with my staff by Asking my peers for advice on how to deal with something and
then approaching the other staff member with a conversation about what happened and using
I statements, also maybe having a third person there for support/ mediation. Also if I have
done something wrong please tell me, I am not as transparent and sometimes I say things that I
dont think could hurt/ bother people, but they could and I apologize, but help me understand
what I did wrong so I never do it again.
I handle conflict with my supervisors by Also addressing the issue and definitely asking for clarity
as I hope my supervisors would never be malicious towards any of us. If I have done something
wrong, I expect to be told and addressed privately.
My pet peeves are. 1.When people become upset with me but dont tell me, I cant fix anything if I
dont know whats wrong. (2.) Gossiping and self-deprecation also bother me, dont be rude or spread
rumors of people. I am not the most confident person so I like to surround myself with secure people
who are up for the challenge, not people who put down others or themselves, dont talk about your
inadequacies, speak of your strengths instead. (3) when people are rude to people who have not spoken
English as their 1 language. (4) Talking down to people/me and being patronizing
st
My BEST attributes and personal/professional strengths are. I am empathetic and emotionally driven
so I strive to make deeper connections with people. I work well under pressure so even though I might
get flustered I will get my work done. I am very people oriented and I believe I have good customer
service as I am always happy and willing to help people.
TRACEY
When I am stressed/upset I
Tend to be quiet or be vocal about how Im feeling. Im aware how my stress can affect others so I try
my best not to put my burdens onto others. Typically, Ill reach out to one person who Im close to
outside of the affected parties to vent about it or I process how I feel and take steps to move on from it.
Give me time to destress by myself or share a meal with me (or stress eat with me). You can ask me if
Im okay, but Ill become emotional at the fact that you care.
Right away when Im doing something wrong. Typically, Im a bit self-aware of what Im doing
incorrectly, but if it needs to be addressed, please let me know right away and privately. I will usually re-
evaluate the action I took and try my best not to take things personally (unless its an ad hominem),
because it takes a lot for someone to upset me.
Privately in written form. Group settings are fine, but I dont always prefer them because it brings the
spotlight onto me which makes me very awkward at times. I prefer to recognize others achievements
who have assisted since a lot of the things we do is a team effort.
Talking to them 1 on 1. Sometimes it has a large emotional toll on me and Ill show it at times, but thats
okay because growing starts from a place of discomfort.
Talking to them 1 on 1.
People who talk over me or others, repetitive sounds or anything that repeats (broken lighting),
disrespectful people, people who are unable to see past their biases, not giving credit where credit is
due, when Im told to calm down, using a phone during a movie
My BEST attributes and personal/professional strengths are
Taking on multiple perspectives, analytical and logistical, remaining calm during difficult situations,
detail-oriented
CHRISTIAN
When I am stressed/upset I.
Cry. I find crying therapeutic and I enjoy getting time to sit in my feelings and really giving myself a space
for self-validation.
Remind me that it is okay to not be okay. I need them to validate my feelings and let me feel them in the
moment.
Like to be around others and like to do things. I smile and try my best to be friendly.
Give me the space to be happy and let me be happy. If they are happy, to also join me in my happiness.
In a 1:1 setting. I like to have reference points to a time where they saw me struggle or places of
personal improvement.
When I do something that is more than ordinary. I like to receive praise when my work is more than
satisfactory.
Confronting the conflict and having conversations on where there might have been miscommunication.
Those who do not have an open mind and are not willing to become more educated or think they have
reached their peak growth.
Vulnerability. I am not scared to be open about who I am or speak on my past, and I feel like this is very
useful when relating and talking with other individuals. I am open to being open regarding parts of my
past that may cause distress, because I tend to find beauty in the pain and search for growth in areas
that hurt most.
JESUS
Tend to isolate myself and remove myself from the situation. This is usually when I am stressed.
Tend to smile a lot; youll see it. When I am excited I dont usually share it with everyone unless they are
really close to me. I dont like being the center of attention for prolonged periods of time.
Excessively loud talkers, anything excessively loud, and not knowing when to exit the platform and give
the mic to someone else. Also, when you pick food off my plate without asking. If you ask, I will ALWAYS
say yes; I feel very taken advantage of without having been asked first.
KENNEDY
When I am stressed/upset I vocalize it! I will probably be visibly upset and eager to rant. It probably
seems like Im a drama queen (which I am), but I really do need external support/to talk everything out
to feel better. I will also probably catastrophize and be extremely hyperbolic (cons of being an extremely
anxious person).
When I am stressed/upset I need my staff to be willing to listen and validate my feelings, and be ready
to offer solutions right away. Im not a wallower and I dont usually like to sit in feelings, so Ill
probably immediately start wanting to talk about what to do to fix the issue.
When I am happy and excited I TALK ABOUT IT A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I am happy and excited I need my staff to listen to me tell the same stories like 3 times.
I prefer to receive constructive feedback from my staff/supervisors one on one, with solutions for
growth. I want so badly to be good at what I do, I usually need only to be told once before Im
hypersensitive and constantly trying to fix the issue, and I really appreciate when solutions or ideas are
already laid out so I know exactly what I need to do to improve.
I prefer to receive praise from my staff/supervisors in any way, as long as its genuine. I also dont mind
public praise (thats the drama queen in me again lol), but I really do appreciate genuine one-on-one
compliments.
I handle conflict with my staff by addressing it directly! I pretty much HAVE to talk my feelings out, and I
prefer to do it as soon as possible after an incident or else I get restless/angsty. I also like to confront
serious issues one on one. But I never ever keep my feelings in and I am usually very direct.
I handle conflict with my supervisors by also addressing it directly, though I would probably be less
confident in my delivery of my feelings than I would be when talking to a peer. Again, I cant hold my
feelings in.
My pet peeves are when people tell me Im too much, when people get mad/sad at me without
providing an immediate solution and instead just want to rip into me, and when my la croix
decarbonates faster than I can drink it.
DEREK
When I am stressed/upset I. sometimes like to yell at inanimate objects, so I prefer to be left alone so
that I can process my own frustration.
When I am happy and excited I. get energetic, jumpy, loud, and obnoxious.
When I am happy and excited I need my staff to be with me so that I can share my happiness and
excitement with yall.
I prefer to receive constructive feedback from my staff/supervisors. AS MUCH AWS POSSIBLE, let me
know what I can improve on. Bring me in one-on-one and light me up. Do it quick and dirty.
I prefer to receive praise from my staff/supervisors .very sparingly because especially in person, I
dont know how to respond to it. So warm fuzzies are the best, or texts or anything.
I handle conflict with my staff by talking it out with them. I will often beat around the bush and be
soft, when confronting, but I prefer you being blunt.
I handle conflict with my supervisors by most of the time I keep it in, but sometimes Ill talk to them,
but usually this only occurs when something really bothers me.
My pet peeves are. Unorganized projects, procrastinating, leaving something alone for someone else
to deal with, unreliability, inefficiency.
ISHITA
When I am stressed/upset I.
Need time alone to process but then need reassurance and company
Let me be excited and know that I dont expect them to be at my level. Also, to not tell me to calm
down or that Im too much.
ALL. THE. TIME. Im my own worst enemy so reassurance of what Im doing well and that Im even doing
well is necessary for me because I have not yet learned to rely on my own self-confidence in new
situations.
Addressing it directly and as soon as possible if I dont try to let it go. I often need space just so that
everything about the person/people doesnt start to annoy me and I can return to the family with a
refreshed perspective.
I handle conflict with my supervisors by
By creating a 1:1 time and addressing it as well as getting feedback on how to better support each other
because this shit is hard enough.
People telling me to calm down, using honesty as an excuse for being rude, inconsistency, not holding
myself/others holding themselves accountable, and probably more because I low key get easily irritated
but Im working on it.
-ENERGY
ALIZA
When I am stressed/upset I.
Vocalize my emotions but don't expect those emotions to be internalized by anyone else. May dissociate
from those that matter most.
To be one on one and involve honesty and prefaced with what I have been doing correctly or
exceptionally.
In person and consistently when it is genuine and I feel I truly deserve it. Praise that is emphasized by
specific examples and such.
I handle conflict with my staff by
Approaching other supervisors about the problem and how to best deal with the situation.
Not feeling listened to (people on their phones when I am trying to tell them something!!), lack of
awareness for others and the space that individuals occupy, overagressive personalities that lead me to
feel overwhelmed or irritated, others taking advantage of my kindness, close mindedness and the
disinterest in learning from one another.
My positivity, openness and honesty with my emotions,relatabilty, adaptability, my expression and self
assurance.
CHRISTINA
When I am stressed/upset I.
It is usually because I dont have enough time so I get short with people. It isnt because I dont love you
or its anything personal, its just that Im trying to get done other tasks in a short period of time.
Give me space, I am always down to schedule a time later on to talk. Keep me accountable to self-care.
Smile, be okay with me being happy and excited. Not ignore me.
Talking about it
Not responding to an email, coming late, being on your phone/computer, gossiping, not receiving
feedback/being defensive when feedback is given

My pet peeves are.
taking advantage of kindness or when I give you the benefit of the doubt

My BEST attributes and personal/professional strengths are.

internally first
Join in on the fun, however, if youre not feelin it, please let me know!
Through notes, email, privately/ Im getting used to public praise but it isnt my preferred way to receive
praise
There are quite a few (lol) but the vast majority of them stem from a lack of communication
Strengthquest: Context, Relator, Belief, Individuation, Learner; Good observer of surrounding, learning
when step up/step back, good sense of humor, tend to remain calm in pressure situations
