This user guide is a summary of how to get the best out of me. What I am good at and what I am bad at. What is my modus operandi, how I learn and how communicate.
By sharing this document with you, my goals are for us to be as most intentional as possible in designing our future relationship and to provide you with insights on how to get the most value out of me and to hold me accountable.
