What do you enjoy most about being in the Professional Services industry?
What I enjoy most about this industry is the networking, getting to connect with a vast majority of clients in various fields. I'm a learner, so one of the things they have us do is learn about ourselves. My results from a strengths-finder assessment show I'm a learner and an achiever.
What I love most about this industry is that it allows me to use all the tools I have, not only educationally but emotionally. As I've mentioned, those "aha" moments are very fulfilling for me.
I also like that I deal with like-minded individuals. For the most part, we are all professionals, and it really helps us to click. I feel like I never minister and I like the freedom it brings.
It doesn't necessarily feel like work; it feels like I'm doing what I'm supposed to and helping others achieve where they would like to be.
