# A Guide to Working with Em  The Em you know is still in beta. I’m going through an iterative set of changes.  Refer to this guide, and openly communicate feature-requests and bug reports to improve user-experience. #### User-Reviews “Em is weird. For instance: he created a “guide to working with him,'' which included a meta-comment about said guide, in order to demonstrate his quirkiness. Oddness aside, he’s sharing this with you because he believes effective communication will result in a higher level of project impact, which means more animals (including humans) will be helped.”  - Anonymous ## How I measure my success: I measure my success by how well I can support others to get things done while they feel good doing so.  ## Things I want to know about you so that we can collaborate effectively  - How to help you feel comfortable about being open with your suggestions/concerns/etc - How to communicate well with you - What your goals are and if there is any way I can help you reach them - How to appreciate you - Things you think are important to know about you ## I particularly value these qualities in the people I work with: - Positive mental attitude - Humility - Consistency - Candor - Tendency to entertain multiple perspectives - Eagerness to help others ## Some unfiltered things about me: - Ego scares me. Mine and others’. I think ego is the cause of most failure.  - I care about helping animals (including humans) more than being right, so I want to be told when I may be wrong. - I can occasionally struggle with speech. When I do it is a cue for me to [[breathe]] and [[listen]], I’m working on it and would love help improving. - I consider anyone trying to help others someone that deserves support and appreciation. - Staying balanced is important to me. I do my best work when I am happy and healthy. Want to know more? Let’s set up a call or plan an adventure.
