Hectic Work Day Proving as Great Training Ground

Lauren and I are co-supervisors for a team of about 18 people. They are therapists and case workers who do outreach to provide therapy and resources to families. As we were going through our agenda for the meeting (snore. . . I know but I am getting to it), there was a topic that brought on a bunch of debate and frustration. The room got tense.

Lauren was on my right, and it was wonderful how we handled it. It was nice having someone beside me who could deflect the bullets with me instead of TOWARD me. It sure was nice to have someone there helping me through it, instead of being alone in it all.

After the meeting Lauren and I could laugh and finally breath. We were calm, cool and collected through it all, and afterward we debriefed with each other. Not everyone can do that. It is hard when you have strong opinions and views flying at you. You have to watch what you say about upper management and policies. We are awesome!
Amazing Race here we come!!
