Maverick, this made for a fantastic read tonight. It was truly courageous of you to choose to change. Most people become hardened when confronted with their own blind spots. Instead, the young man triggered in you the desire to seek better ways to engage with people by putting empathy first. Even more amazing was that when your position no longer matched the new person you were emerging as - you didn't hesitate to seek a position that suited you best at the time. And taking what you learned you used it to help people do better and succeed. Thank you for sharing this piece 💞
