"In my current job, we implemented a new lab management software tool three years ago. When the decision was made, several staff members were very down about having to learn a new system and the time it would take to adjust. My natural mindset is to see the positive in things, which my director saw immediately. She asked if I would train to be the supervisor for our team, and I gladly took the position. Over the following months, I led employee training sessions with our team, and everyone was very appreciative."
