Daily Deliberation: 6 May 2020
Haven’t we all thought something like this before? Whenever I was working with a new person and we were coming close to the suspense, the pressure would get to me and I would think they were the problem. In all reality, it was me. I hadn’t prepared them well enough. It took me longer than…
