I got a Linkedin inMail from a listener that said:
Hey Tom!
Thanks for accepting my connection request so quickly.
I recently stumbled across your "Advice from a Call Center Geek" podcast and have been loving the content.
I'm a supervisor in a 25 head center about to apply for the manager position. I've listened to your New Manager cast from August and was wondering if you have a cast (or simply any advice) around what advice you would tell your 25-year-old self?
Thanks!
John- Avid Learner

This really got me thinking about what I would tell myself if I could go back in time and teach my 25-year-old call center self.  Being this episode is being recorded 2-3 days before the new year, I thought a self-reflection episode would make sense.  So I did it.  

I hope this helps all the younger (and older) call center team leads, supervisors, and managers out there!
