"When a major problem arises during a workday, my first instinct is to take a step back and absorb what just happened. With my focus solely on client service, I then go into brainstorm mode, jotting down potential ways to resolve the issue. From there, I can generally use a pros and cons list to determine the best course of action for a fast and amicable resolution. If necessary, I don't hesitate to collaborate with others in the office to get their expertise or to seek a helping hand."
