I am comfortable reaching out to anyone within the organization to learn more about what they do or ask for feedback. My supervisor encourages me to take on challenges, get out of my comfort zone and lead initiatives on projects and opportunities. This type of support encourages me to be fearless and focus on how to embrace change and innovate creatively.
