I feel like thankfully this is starting to change and stuff like that with millennials and then whoever the generation is after millennials. I really welcome that kind of attitude because, you know, there's been so many times. And yeah, you could get a job actually, not too many years after I graduated from college with an anthropology degree, or if you wrote well or whatever. It takes you several years after that to realize that unless that person’s just really cruel, they are actually trying to help you.
Denise Jacobs teaches us how to banish our inner critic. She motivates us to realize what we’re capable of creatively. She encourages us to overcome the fear of the unknown by turning that fear into curiosity. She also guides us into how to ask for feedback in a way that’s healthy and beneficial to us.
