ABOUT HAN

I’m never ‘done’

I’ve learned more in the past few years than I ever thought possible, and I’m constantly surrounding myself with people I’m inspired by and who evolve my thinking. The feeling of personal growth is like no other.

I take an MVP approach to most things - but nothing is ever done. I love checking back in on past work, keeping an open mind to levelling up and I’ve learned to make space for the time to do this. This includes working on myself!

I’m an organisation geek

I get huge joy from easily digestible and concise documentation. My kitchen cupboards are all categorised and labeled. Countless baskets line the shelves in my house, each with a clear purpose.

I’ve recently used Monday.com to manage my projects and the ease of updating, shifting and completing projects fills my soul.

I bias to quick action

Whilst “slow down to speed up” has been my mantra for the past 12 months, my natural instinct is to move towards fast but well-considered action. Whether it’s a hard conversation, a call on prioritisation or celebrating an early win, I prefer to think and act at pace and encourage others to do the same. There are exceptions to this rule, of course, but this is my default.

I’m a visual thinker

I get to my best outcomes when I lay out my thoughts on paper - I’m a huge FigJammer, using it to organise my thoughts into logical flows, solutions and models that I can reuse. I never commit to solution before I’ve seen it mapped out, and explored all of the possible avenues - the more post-its, the better.

I’m ruthlessly efficient

All of this means I make an effort to agree early with my collaborators on ways of working, communication and the level of detail needed - the more streamlined the better.

I believe that async communication makes sync convos even more powerful, and it tends to be more inclusive. I’m structured and quick in meetings, agreeing clear ownership and actions, whilst giving people the space to have their say.

Interrogation is my love language

I am deeply curious - I ask a hundred questions when I first meet people, and this usually leads to a hundred more.

I like to understand people at their core; their experiences, behaviours, assumptions, reluctance and everything inbetween.
