Anna Munson - Carpenter's childhood included a great deal of hard earned success. Highly disciplined and well practiced, Anna grew up as an accomplished athlete, academic, public speaker and musician. A four year starter on her high school softball team, a top student with the ability to speak with ease in front of thousands of people, as well as a first chair violist as a freshman, Anna was confident in her ability to succeed in all that she attempted. In this podcast, Anna tells the story of the first time she experienced uncharacteristic uncertainty and hesitation. While at a music competition, in front of friends and family, Anna freezes, bursts into tears and is unable to play a single note. This momentary lapse leads Anna to the ultimate insight that has helped her as in ICU nurse: it's perfectly all right to share responsibilities with others who may have talents equal or greater to her own.
