How have you gotten better at speaking up and advocating for yourself? I still really struggle with this and often feel like I'm being too aggressive.

I think it's better to be thought of as too aggressive than to be a people pleaser. I would keep trying to be empathetic and compassionate, but don't beat yourself up for being straightforward or knowing what you want/need.

Agreed, I used to hold back but now that I'm in a more senior role, I'm just owning it. I still get anxiety every now and then but you just gotta fight through it...not always easy but that's what therapy is for lol

Yes. Honestly, its trial and error. The more you do it, the better you get. Eventually you get to a point where you just don't want to take crap from anyone.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I've been told that I'm bossy. But you know what? I don't care. I'd rather be bossy than get nothing done and have people trample all over me.

I just had my review and one of the areas my managers wants me to work on is saying yes more!! I couldn’t believe it.

i feel sometimes like i’m saying “no” a lot… but no one else is pointing out the terrible ideas or unrealistic plans… so i guess i try to be more like “that doesn’t seem like it will work, what if we did xyz” 🤷‍♀️

Any idea on what interview questions to expect for a Customer Service Senior Risk Manager role?

Think about your current situation. For example, what are you spending time on that is outside of your control?

- Are you trying to change someone's behavior/belief?
- Are you forcing someone to like you?
- Are you breaking someone's pattern abruptly?

Focus on making yourself better and what you feel you can control.

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?

At bottom of every page in offer letter it shows as signed by user name ,user email address & date when she signed. Could anyone please confirm if this is fine or not ?
