Absolutely
we
can
help
with
soft
skills
really
making
sure
that
we're
developing
you
as
a
person
as
a
professional.
We
help
with
things
like
communication
training.
If
you're
trying
to
booster
your
skills,
any
sort
of
technical
skills,
we
can
point
you
in
the
right
direction.
We
also
help
with
one-on-one
coaching.
So
if
you
have
some
goals
that
you
wanted
to
meet,
we
can
meet
and
help
you
with
that.
What.
A
B
A
B
Really,
all
over
the
place,
we've
done
a
lot
of
policy
trainings
that
are
required
so
annually.
You
might
see
me
for
something
like
no
discrimination,
no
harassment,
training
or
for
the
soft
skills
we're
doing
a
lot
of
leadership
training.
We
launched
our
new
leadership
academy,
which
is
coming
city-wide
soon,
but
we
launched
it
with
dpw,
for
instance,
so
we
got
their
leaders
in
really
got
to
do
this
five-part
series
and
I'm
excited
to
spread
it
to
the
rest
of
the
city.
Now.
A
B
It's
it's
a
lot
of
fun,
it's
a
very
serious
topic,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
fun
with
it.
So
as
we've
gone
department
by
department,
we've
been
doing
it
for
about
three
years
now,
we've
learned
a
lot
about
what's
going
on
with
the
city
and
heard
a
lot
of
people's
questions,
which
has
helped
build
an
arsenal
of
what
to
do
and
what
not
to
do,
but
it's
the
most
fun
because
we
get
to
come
up
with
all
kinds
of
creative.
B
A
B
B
B
B
B
B
That
was
tough
the
first
couple
weeks.
I
realized
that
I
keep
myself
very
busy.
I
don't
spend
a
lot
of
time
at
home,
or
at
least
I
didn't
before
kovitz
started,
so
it
was
a
shock
of
having
to
figure
out
things
to
do
inside
of
my
house
now
a
year
later.
I
cannot
imagine
going
back
to
everything
that
I
was
doing
so.
B
A
B
A
A
B
A
A
A
C
A
A
C
A
A
C
C
A
C
Well,
the
strip
district
is
sort
of
a
hub
for
wholesale
flowers
there.
At
one
time
there
were
four
or
five
different
wholesalers.
There's
now
I
think
two
or
three,
and
so
I
worked
for
one
we
would
do
distribute
to
florists
across
the
tri-state
region,
and
we
got
flowers
that
came
in
from
south
america
three
times
a
week.
We
went
and
got
our
own
flowers
from
canada,
california,
local
growers
at
this
time
of
year,
so.
A
B
C
C
It
is,
it
is,
and
then
you've
got
people
who
are
ordering
flowers
for
weddings.
Who
are
you
know
they
want
everything
to
be
perfect.
You
want
them
to
be
perfect,
but
there's
so
many
different
people
that
handle
the
flowers
from
the
time
it
leaves
the
farm
to
the
time
it
gets
to
you
it's
there
can
be
a
lot
of
missteps
along
the
way.
A
C
C
Up
in
rochester,
it's
great
rochester
is
a
great
city.
I
still
go
there.
My
my
mother,
who's
93
lives
there,
and
so
I
visit
her
several
times
a
year
and
really
beautiful
right
on
the
lake
lake
ontario
not
too
far
from
canada.
If
you
can
get
there,
you
can't
get
there
right
now,
but
a
really
beautiful
place
to
live.
It's
so.
C
A
A
C
C
A
C
Yeah,
I
have
two
daughters,
so
they
keep
me
busy.
You
know
hanging
out
with
them
one's
going
off
to
college
and
one's
going
to
be
an
11th
grader
at
aldredice
wow.
So,
but
I
also
like
to
to
garden-
and
I
have
a
dog
so
taking
long
walks
with
the
dog
and
my
wife,
and
you
know
between
that
and
work
and
a
little
recreation.
That's
that's!
Basically.
