Do you consider yourself a patient person? How do you increase your patience in challenging situations?

"I do consider myself a patient person. I would rate myself an 8 /10 for patience because I certainly have room to grow, but I have a very long fuse. If I need a boost of patience in a challenging situation, I will take a step away, count to 10 and then return to the situation. I recently read a book, 'The Power of Patience' by M.J. Ryan, which also gave me some excellent new coping methods."

"I was once working with a group that could not quite get along, and it tested my patience because it prevented us from staying on track and focusing on the goals. I went above and beyond to help the group get along by scheduling lunches as a team and mediating situations that needed it."
