Aside from cooking, eating, and being outside, I also really enjoy building teams and creating positive working environments.

What’s Your Ask? (manager playbook). Teach your team to bring an “ask” with every frustration: do they need you to listen, think it through with them, or act? Includes scripts for hard moments and habits that surface frustrations early.
Make Your Ask (guide for your team). Turn a frustration into a request someone can say yes to, using the EXIT framework, a formula for making clear requests, and what to do when nothing changes.
