In this introductory meeting, Jen asked a few probing questions without making me feel as if I was being interrogated. She listen to my thoughts and asked follow up questions to dig a bit deeper. Jen’s personality seems open and honest. She was professional yet also inviting. She gave me an exercise to complete that I am optimistic to start. Overall the session was productive. I will definitely sign up for another session.
