Any other “baby faced” consultants out there that get frequent comments from clients about how young you look? I feel like I always get this until I deliver my first quality work output and then the comments abruptly stop. How do you approach?

Yep, without fail. I don’t let it bother me and I let my words and product speak for themselves, haven’t had issues. Besides, I know I’m hot so it’s cool

Haha, yes being young looking and hot is worth it 🤣

I’ve had clients comment on how young I look too, but I’ve learned to let my work do the talking. Once they see the quality I deliver, those comments tend to stop. It’s all about proving yourself early on, and the respect follows naturally. I think overreacting or getting insecure about it would just how they see you as young, you know?

That’s exactly how I feel about it. I think for some people, it’s just an observation, and if anything is a complement to say you’ve accomplished a lot at a young age.

The best I got from a few clients when I was about 23-24 was “it’s crazy I’m taking advice from people younger than my kids, but you know what you’re doing”

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.

I feel like we're affected more than anyone else (except maybe history teachers) by the censorship and critical theory debate. Dealing with books coming on and off the banned list and angry parent emails over curriculum I don't have control over was especially frustrating this year. What are your tips for avoiding the conflict and teaching the facts without getting dragged into a political debate?
