The biggest surprise during the interview was to find out that Deborah still faces struggles with asking others for help. Many times when people are higher up in a company they are glad to delegate their work to other employees. I felt helpful in the fact that I was able to use information that we were taught in lab and class to somewhat flip the switch and guide her. I reminded her that it is not showing weakness to ask others for help, something I also have to remind myself sometimes. Another surprise is that she still faces weaknesses with her communication skills regardless of her age and work/life experience. This was a reminder for me that communication weaknesses are okay for me to have and that everyone has their own struggles.
