Episode Synopsis "Taking Initiative"

When you are a young professional in the workplace or about to graduate college, you hear “just get in there and take initiative” or “we are looking for employees who know how to take initiative”. However, this is rarely a discussion we’ve had in college or beyond. What does that mean? What are some examples? What if this isn’t my personality? We’ll talk about these questions on this episode.
