-: I would say the biggest challenge is navigating
in an environment where you lack a lotta context.
So when I'm working with these technical teams,
nine times outta 10 they know
the technology way better than me.
I might understand the requirements,
but I don't always understand the technology.
So to lead a team and to lead a project
when you don't always have the technological context
as to what's going on, it can be somewhat daunting.
It could be intimidating.
It can be even overwhelming at times,
so for me I really had to get used to not bein' afraid
to look dumb, (laughs) to not be afraid to raise my hand,
to not be afraid to stop somebody and say,
"Hey, I didn't get that, can you please repeat that
"so that way I understand," because one thing
I've definitely learned from bein' in school,
when you let things go and you don't fully understand
and you're just diggin' yourself
in a deeper and a deeper hole, so for me to be able
to navigate those technical conversations
and still bein' able to be business focused
and business minded is definitely challenging,
but the more you do it, the better you get.
