and listen more. I am too
quick to 'give the
answers to the test' to my
team. To allow the team to grow, I
am working to focus on obtaining

A skill I am currently
working on is continuing
to network and learn
what other companies
are doing in my field of CSR. I am a

competitive. The more we share
best practices and collaborate
across industries, the more impact
we can make collectively. "
