I was in an awful conflict at work. Susan somehow kept me from feeling overwhelmed. She is also empathetic, tapping into her own versatile experience while offering a perspective that helped guide me to being more adroit myself in this challenging interpersonal situation, even in a super brief interaction — her advice was immediately beneficial.
