What’s a ‘How We Work’?

30-90min conversation dedicated entirely to communicating about how you’re going to communicate. So much of our experience with people comes down to dozens of micro-interactions each day. Before you get into the fray of the work itself, give yourself a foundation.

🚫 You don’t do work. ✅ You talk about how you work.

From macro-things like working styles **through to micro-things like “should we share the creative rounds on email or save directly into a folder?”.

👨🏼‍🎤 Big personality differences mean everyone needs to flex their style. 😬 Small annoyances can end up totally derailing relationships.

Who should you do one with?

Anyone you interact with often (e.g. daily / weekly) where the relationship significantly impacts the way you do your job. Specifically:

• Your manager
• Regular relationships (e.g. teammates, key cross-functional stakeholders)
• People you start working with on priority projects (e.g. project partners, agencies etc)
