What people appreciate about me Good problem solver; reliable; positive; loyal friend; honest; astute
What is important to me
To know that Tom and Joe are content and well supported To feel supported by other people, and not to feel alone with all the stresses of making a difficult family situation work Spend time with my close friends To go walking in the countryside at least once a week To go to yoga when I can To sleep for 7 hours every night To work at the NAS and to do voluntary work, and feel like I am making a contribution To have new challenges and ideas to engage with, and to keep learning To challenge injustice and be in a position to help those who are vulnerable To meditate daily To feel listened to and understood
How to support me in my role
Be flexible about times and ways I can contribute. I like people to have a ‘can do’ attitude and to work in solution focused ways Communicate with me clearly – emails and texts are often easier than the phone or meetings Know that I am an early riser and can’t do late evening meetings or conversations I need breaks from caring responsibilities and time on my own to recharge When things are difficult I need to talk it through with close friends
