Oh, thank you. That's very sweet. I mean, I try to treat people like people. I mean, that's why I got into this business was because I wanted to feel very emotionally connected to the thing that I was doing every day. And I took one of those quizzes about what you should do with your life at like 38. And nurturing and hospitality and care came up at the very top of my skill set.

So one of the reasons that attracted me to recruiting was

Yeah, I really love that part of the business. And I say that to people when I'm getting to know them is I love to hear people's stories. What made you get into this? What made you pick the transitions that you did? So it's always specifically interesting to hear. one of those more niche things. I'm like, how did you fall into that? Or what interests you about it?

Well, tell me about what made you want to do this and starting the conversation out that way. So yeah, I mean, I would would say I do pride myself on being a very relational person and finding a lot of joy in that day in and day out.

I really lean into technology to learn things. I listen to audiobooks. I listen to podcasts. I watch a lot of documentaries. That's my learning style is audio and visual. I have a harder time. I'm slightly dyslexic and I have a harder time reading and comprehending information that way. So, I lean in technology in those ways because I see the benefits of it.

So, some of the things that help me and I feel like can bring a more differentiating fact where other recruiters don't do it, but then it can either cut down on time or it can help personalize you. So, technology can be your friend if you use it effectively. Too much of anything is bad.

But ChatGPT helps me when I need it to just be smoother and more concise with my messaging, especially the end of the day when my brain is really tired and I'm trying to write a message and it's just these ongoing messages. I have a really hard time with run-on sentences. That's always been an issue of mine since I was a small child. I would get dinged constantly for that.

And so I will put ideas down in my crazy long run-on sentences and put them in a chat GPT when I just don't have any more brainpower. And I usually say, make it smoother, more concise, and more professional. And it will help me funnel my thoughts into a way that are just more readable. Secondly... I really struggled with this job being very phone based because I had always done outside sales.

I really struggled with this job being very phone based because I had always done outside sales.
And I always attributed my sales success, true or not, maybe it's my own insecurities, but from the fact that people could see me and interact with me. see my energy, see my hand motions, just see my smile and just my energy of who I am. So a phone job at some level really intimidated me because I'm like, they're not getting to know me. They're not seeing me.
