First the first time, I embrace being an expert.
I have been involved in the UAB Non-Profit Biz Class with Annetta for 3 years now. I have shied away every time she has referred to me as an expert, but last night I finally embraced it.
Because my non-profit career has been purely on experiential learning, I have discounted my knowledge because I don't know proper terms and I'm afraid of being call on that. But, I DO know things. I HAVE learned a lot, and maybe there is more value in not knowing everything "by the book."
More and more, I recognize the on-going impact of the "change" I underwent during the pandemic to embrace my job, my knowledge, and who I am overall.
Hopefully, I can start to provide even better assistance to the UAB students going forward - Lord knows that being a part of the class has helped ME tremendously!
