What if the biggest lesson today came from your dryer? So a while back, we had some problems with our dryer.

As my wife over here was bringing it to our attention that the dryer wasn't working very well, my intake of it was that it was still running very well, but she works in medical field and home-- in the healthcare prog-- uh, uh, healthcare, and she's very good at noticing when there's a problem or a signal that arises.

So like I said, I gave my assessment, and I thought it was fine which, like I said, the dryer was functioning, but maybe it was a little tired.

Um, and to be honest, I think it's perfectly smart to bring that awareness that I'm not the best at the communication part, but I'm willing to learn and grow and ask the right questions and talk to other people to get their perspective so I can be a better communicator or a leader.
