I have been wanting to write more about the finer points of what I try to be in my career. When you are interfacing with anyone while you are in the middle of something, value them by putting down what you are doing. This does not mean give them agency over everything in your day. Read the room before you ask for time or “later”. The relationships you are trying or have built can be dealt a serious blow for a reason you will likely not remember later. People first. Kindness always.
