if my colleague and I disagreed on a project, I would focus on finding a way to
collaborate. First, I would bring up the issue politely and listen to their perspective.

aware of sustainability. It could also create partnerships with schools, businesses,

mental clarity and reduces stress on the body. This trend interests me because it’s
