🌳 'Quiet Habits' for Building Trust in a Pressure-Free Environment

It has been exactly two years since I started working from home and connected with my current client.

Every day, we confirm important tasks, meet deadlines, and proceed calmly.
The reason I am able to continue working from home like this is undoubtedly thanks to this environment.🌿

The reason I cherish my current workplace above all else is that there is 'no pressure'.

I can focus quietly, and if something difficult arises, I can consult with them immediately.

It is precisely because of this 'psychological safety' that I can take on new challenges without hesitation.

However, this 'comfortable environment' was not prepared for me from the start.

I would like to share three points for building trust that I realized while struggling and persevering over these two years.🪄


🍄‍🟫 1. The Sincerity of 'Consulting Early'
When something difficult happens, do not keep it to yourself; consult early. I believe that ultimately reduces risk for both parties and leads to the greatest trust.
In fact, there have been times when I hesitated to consult, only for time to pass... leaving me feeling uneasy.
It even led to mistakes being discovered only when I submitted the work.


🪵 2. Visualizing the 'Steady Progress'
Precisely because I work from home, I share my progress and tasks carefully.
What I am working on now
Estimated deadlines
How many tasks I am currently handling.

Because I work in a place that cannot be seen, reporting through words turns into trust in the form of 'peace of mind'.
I have been able to move forward with my client by mixing various formats, such as chats and online calls.


☕️ 3. Continuing to Take Steps with Courage
Even for projects where I think, 'It might be too early for me,' I face them with sincerity and see them through.
Those steps, one by one, have created the 'me' of two years later.

At first, it was an unknown world that required courage.
But by stacking up small 'I did it' moments, the forest of my own way of working gradually expands.

I want to continue to cherish this quiet passion without forgetting my gratitude.🧚🏻‍♂️✨
