First Impressions: My first impression of you was that you were outgoing, friendly, and confident. I didn’t know you before class but had heard (on more than one occasion!) that you were super cool, so I was excited to see you in my section.

Looking Back Thoughts: A lot of your looking back thoughts felt incredibly relatable to me. Specifically, your relationship with your parents growing up – how you were both tremendously loved but also fiercely challenged, was something I felt like I might have said myself. I also really admire your dedication overall, and how excitedly you speak of your passions for marketing and your future vision, as well as the sense of balance you want to strive for. You have always come across to me as someone who makes great plans and sees them through!

Leadership Qualities: Rationality, kindness, confidence

Christy!  I have a couple points of note from my first impression of you: “easy to approach” and “soft spoken.” I still agree with that characterization but have certainly come to appreciate the real depth behind your gentle demeanor.  You certainly seem to have a strong rudder guiding your personal choices, and do remember that you have that even when things do not go according to plan.  You’re very lucky to have a partnership with your husband that will allow you to support and be supported.  Especially with that backdrop, I am confident you can find the balance you need to reach your goals.  You are an extremely capable woman, and that has come through in our interactions in the last few weeks.

And just as important: that capability is obviously every bit as present regarding your professional life, and you can own it!  You are qualified to do so much, and your self-awareness positions you well to make further progress in your career while creating the culture that you envision.  Keep challenging yourself, but you have the compass that will give you unerring direction – I can see it.  You don’t need to qualify because you can trust yourself!

First Impression: articulate, sharp, quiet

Looking Back:
We met before this class but I got to know you much better after hearing your stories. I related so much with you after hearing your experiences of dealing with pressures put by your parents. I found it interesting that given that we had similar experiences, we shared similar strengths (competition). I also resonated with your story of how your JV made you feel supported and overcame the challenges you had.

First Impressions:

Put together, prepared, family-first, a proud dog mama

Looking Back:

It was insightful to hear your reflection on the effects of the pressure your mom puts on you to always be better. Often, people talk about the dark sides of this behavior without acknowledging the light. I appreciated how you have come to see your competitive nature as both a strength, in enabling you to achieve excellence, and a weakness, when you are ‘more competitive than you want to be’ and might get in the way of your own happiness or ability to relate to others.

Leadership:

I see you as a leader who inspires excellence (and maybe a little friendly competition) while giving people the freedom to express and be themselves.

First Impression - speaks really confidently, talks fast

Looking Back Thoughts - I realized that you just naturally talk really fast and wondered if that was the Long Island in you. :) But in all seriousness, I could relate to the pressure you dealt with from your parents to be the best because I also had a similar upbringing with those experiences, so I respect you sharing that with the group.
