Senior Quote
Let’s just try. So much of life requires calculated risk and adapting to change. This can mean opportunities to learn new ways of working or how to improve a process. Watching myself or others be courageous and try new things gives me energy. Seeing someone’s confidence grow as they recognize their strengths and unique abilities is the best feeling! It’s amazing what you can do if you just try. And if it fails, well, you learn from failure. Remind yourself it’s not your identity, then get up and try again.
