ReplyDeleteFirst impression discussion sounds interesting!?
ReplyDeleteHaha it was! That was one of the most memorable discussions we had together as a whole team... we sat down the 3rd week and went around in a circle saying our first impression of each person and how/if your first impression changed. It was hilarious! Most of us had never met before the "official" meeting in Erie. This conversation was super interesting... Some people were way off in their first impression and others were on the dot. :)
