Hi, I am reserved and softly spoken. I used to view these two traits as weaknesses. However, after listening to this episode, I view them as strengths, and I will be taking a leap of Faith and applying for a supervisor’s position on my current job.
I am SO happy to hear this Susan. Thanks for sharing. All the best with your application!
