"I received a promotion to lab manager and had to lead a team of peers. My biggest learning experience was strengthening my communication skills so I could stay informed about the status of our complex research projects. I took a seminar on how to master active listening to hear and understand questions and ideas from members of my team, and I specified what my expectations were, so everyone operated from the same plan. My initiative allowed us to meet client deadlines and increase client satisfaction because the quality of our products impressed them."
