Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

    You don't understand what we really need.

  • How I responded:

    Learned to "listen" to others by putting myself in others' shoes, be able to ask the right questions so I can get a full picture of what is "really" needed, then mirror back to them to confirm it is in the "real needs."
