As someone with ADHD, I've learned to adapt my communication style to manage my team of 10 in Tunisia. I use movement and gestures to stay focused, and my team has grown to appreciate this unique approach. For instance, during brainstorming sessions, I often pace around the room, which helps me generate and share ideas more effectively. My ADHD brings strengths like creative problem-solving and risk-taking, which have driven innovation in our team. To overcome the challenges associated with ADHD, I've developed strategies such as using visual aids and breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps. I've also learned to be more empathetic and flexible, adapting my communication style to meet the diverse needs of my team members.

My track record of adapting to different company cultures and stages of growth makes me well-suited to implement and evaluate improvements. While Float's Scenario Planning feature is useful, I consider broader implications of changes. I always ask: How might a process change impact team morale or customer perception? My current role at Cynoia, where I'm balancing marketing, sales, and product considerations, informs a holistic approach to project improvements.

My entrepreneurial experience, including raising $500K for Hive.id, has sharpened my ability to spot potential issues early. While Float highlights budget and schedule variances, I look for subtler indicators of project health. I consider how team communication patterns or engagement levels might signal potential issues before they manifest in traditional metrics. This aligns well with the integrated approach to project management and communication that I'm advocating for in my role at Cynoia.

My diverse experience, from co-founding Hive.id to contributing to major tech IPOs, has given me a nuanced understanding of what makes a useful project report. While Float offers various reporting options, I incorporate insights from my marketing and sales background. I find particular value in reports that can correlate project progress with market response or customer feedback, similar to the integrated approach we're developing at Cynoia.

My experience managing global remote teams has made me adept at monitoring progress across different time zones and work cultures. While Float's real-time updates are valuable, I also integrate communication patterns into my progress monitoring. My background in brand and product evangelism leads me to track not just task completion, but also how well the team is aligned with the project's broader goals and messaging.

My background in growth marketing strategy and community development gives me a unique perspective on performance metrics. While Float provides standard metrics like utilization and budget variance, I often incorporate metrics that reflect team engagement and communication effectiveness. My experience with two IPOs and an acquisition has honed my ability to identify key performance indicators. I look for tools that can correlate project performance with marketing KPIs or community engagement metrics, aligning with my current role at Cynoia where I'm focusing on both product and community-led growth.
