My first week at Empowered. Well, first two days. I joined the Empowered group on Wednesday. So far, so good. Everyone is very kind and laid back. Treehouse is pretty boring, but not hard. Our leaders, all super nice, are also laid back and cool. I’m really enjoying our conference room chats. It helps us get to know each other a bit more, despite me being super shy. I really enjoy the freedom and the help they give us. As I said earlier, so far so good. One week done and six to go. I think.
