I'm a few years into consulting and still feel like I'm copying the senior people around me - their presentation style, how they talk to clients, and even their phrases. Everyone else seems so confident and polished, but I feel like I'm just playing a role. How long did it take you to develop your own voice?

I still look at how others are approaching things compared to me and incorporate what I like. What you look at and adopt changes as you grow.

It “clicked” in for me by the time I was SM. You grow and build your skills through experience.

Evening! Dog owners who live in condo rentals downtown.. did you tell your landlord you had a dog?

I don’t want to invite potential conflict by updating my landlord, my lawyer partner says the no pets clause is void in toronto anyway - but I worry about a bad landlord reference if they find out i.e come for repairs.
