What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
What do I enjoy most about being in my industry? I'd say it's getting to work with all different types of people. I've been able to coach undergrad students, master's students, PhD students, and people in construction, biotech, finance, human resources, and entrepreneurship.
I've really gotten to see into every different position imaginable. And it all comes down to this: no matter the industry, people essentially have very similar problems. It doesn't matter who you are, how much money you have, or your education level; the problems are very similar.
I didn't realize that. I thought someone like a scientist in a biotech company, who is so smart and has all these degrees, wouldn't have any issues. You just never realize what someone is going through.
So, I'd say it's caused me to have a lot more empathy and curiosity. It's really the adventure of not knowing who I'm going to interact with or what I'm going to encounter. It keeps you on your toes.
It's really fun, and I also enjoy networking with other coaches and finding answers to my own problems by listening to other people.
