00:11:51 Pauline Wiles: Replying to “Held boundaries with…”

or, I set them but don't hold them!
00:17:49 Laura Nurse: @Katheryn Symington – i took the test 3 or 4 times in different moods. Every time something different came up. But adventurer was always my number 2. every time.
00:18:21 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: I haven’t looked at that since I started WDA. I might go do it again just for fun – see where I am right now.
00:19:05 Angelica Hidalgo: I got Nurturer and that’s always something that I have not liked about myself because I was always called emotional growing up. However I realised that my caring nature is my superpower, I’ve just been told the story that it’s bad.

00:28:17 Katheryn Symington: Even when I have days where I'm frustrated because I think I should know more, my clients think I'm brilliant. It's all perspective.

00:31:31 Laura Nurse: oooh… i love this… it’s like the big secret is we are all just figuring it out. Business is an experiment.
00:31:39 Pauline Wiles: I'm motivated to keep learning because I think it's ethical, if I'm charging $$$, and also because I'm interested. BUT I'm also aware, “web design” is an evolving field, and like Katheryn I'm almost always a hundred steps ahead of my clients. I loved Tara Mohr's book, Playing Big: she has good info on how women in particular hold ourselves back because we assume we're under-qualified.

00:32:11 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: And sometimes you do things you think you need to do, and it turns out that you didn’t need to do “X” you end up needing to do “Y” instead.

Yes, this is one thing I always have to think about – if I were a man, would I be holding back like this? The answer is always no 😂
00:32:50 Erica Nash: I’m of the opinion that the most valuable skill we can have is the skill of asking better questions. Then we can get the answers we need to go find the answers the clients need.

00:33:40 Michelle Self – WordPress Designer + Tech Transformations: It's common in corporate tech to be hired because you have relatable experience for the job – not because you have all the skills. I've had to learn new software on the job for every corp IT job that I've had

00:40:45 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Funny how Impostor syndrome hides itself in so many ways.
00:49:18 Angelica Hidalgo: The theme of today
00:51:16 Angelica Hidalgo: I have a question about a client if we have a quick 5 mins
00:51:25 Angelica Hidalgo: Potential client*
00:52:31 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: I love doing the anchor high – then you get to talk about all the cool things you offer….
00:56:42 Angie: Quick question…What workbook is it in if we have to say “not a good fit” to a client? I just need help with wording. I know I saw it but can’t find it now.
00:57:18 Erica Nash: Replying to “Quick question…What …”

It’s possible it’s workbook 5 or 6, but I think it’s also in the tools, templates, and scripts on the website.
00:58:00 Angie: Replying to “Quick question…What …”

Ok thanks, I was looking in 5 but not seeing it. I’ll look in the scripts next 👍
