It was refreshing to talk about workplace issues with my [advisor/coach]. She knew enough about my situation to provide useful feedback, but was far enough away from the . . . details that she could offer an unbiased perspective on the problems I was facing.
I spend more time listening to the people that work for me—I can tell they appreciate it.
I am more open to staff. I am delegating more day-to-day duties and am considering how to do more.
I am becoming more mindful of my behavior and how others react.
