                    Jacob: Happy being an individual contributor but contributing to the art of management by being a better employee and having empathy for managers.

                    Phil: Self-Awareness and empathy. Wanting to push his people in a certain direction but taking that step back and determining where that motivation is coming from.

                    Chanté: Impostor syndrome: at some point in time we’re all impostors. Doing reading about leadership can help whether you are taking that path or not.
