Through the #SY100, I was given the challenge to grab coffee with someone I wanted to get to know better. As a coffee hater, I opted for iced tea but the challenge itself proved fruitful. I decided to meet up with one of my #SY100 peers and Reading Partners colleagues, Alexis. Since we are in different regions and portfolios at work, we don't often get the chance to interact outside of the limited number of full-staff professional development days. I always thought we would have a lot in common because we both spend probably way too much time baking decadent desserts. We went to the Union Square Starbucks and were lucky enough to have one of the first truly nice days of the season to enjoy. It was cool hearing about her experience doing my same job at a different school. She's a super organized person, and so I was definitely taking notes when she shared her insanely detailed schedule for all our end of year tasks. I gained some good insight and a different perspective on general goings on within our organization, in addition to just having a nice time enjoying the weather and company! I'm grateful that our work and this challenge gave us the opportunity to connect and get to know each other!
