Image shows hands cupping a mug of coffee which is on a bare wood table. Above the cup are the words "But first". Image is intended as an invitation in to do the first thing first - introduce yourself, get to know each other.

Hello!

This space is ours.

There’s some things that only I can do here, like post these articles. But I want it to feel as homely as possible. Like I invited you all over for coffee and it’s the first time we all came together. But it also feels a bit like you all already met. Which means it’s time to….

Say hello.

This is a space to introduce yourself. You can choose how to do that. Because this is Work Your Own Way! So you can introduce yourself in your own way too.

In your intro, you might riff on:

  • Where home is.

  • What work is.

  • Something you’d love for us to know about you.

Really, you can do it however you like! Do it your way - but don’t overthink it.
