A3 Researcher: so in looking back at these experiences, whether it’s the problems with underwriting
mortgages, or the dismantling of getting the scientists to interact with resource an organization, or
managers, it sounds like those were defining moments in your career. And we talked about those
situations in context.

A4 So I wrote some thoughts down for each one and so^
I thought I’d talk about each experience as it relates to the questions. So the first one, becoming a mom.
Why does that matter, what did I learn from it, et cetera. The experience mattered to me because I
think it chavery much a workaholic, because maybe I didn’t nged my complete outlook. I think I was
have anything else in my life that was meaningful. I think that exudes into other people around you. I’m
not saying I’m not a person who wants to work hard at things, but I think there’s that balance. I think I
understand and I think I have been a better supervisor, leader in understanding my staff and the
needs of my staff as I changed jobs. And that’s not to say that everybody’s going to get time off all the
time, for the need to be flexible, for instance. Maybe I but it’s to say that I have a better appreciation
wasn’t so flexible at that juncture. I think therefore that I’m a better person and a better person to
manage and to lead people because of my experience.
(^) The second one, the GS-11 experience – why did
that experience matter – well, certainly it mattered
