Hey great article! Thanks for sharing your experiences - I'm working as a senior and have had a few juniors on my teams and it's great to to get an insight like this.
One thing that works for me was to generally bond with them - Day 1, go out for a team lunch, get to know them, have a laugh etc. I tend to find they are more inclined to ask questions, speak up etc when they are really comfortable in the team. So building a supportive environment is a must.
Thanks again for the article, hope your job is going well Caitlyn!
I totally agree. That was super important for me, but for some reason I didn’t include that because I was wondering if more introverted people would feel the same. Now that I think about it, it’s probably a good practice regardless.
Thanks for the input! 🙌
