Adult Quote by Judy Klipin

“Adult children – not having a good idea of what ‘normal’ is – tend to guess a lot of the time. They guess at what is expected of them, they guess at what they can expect from others. To be effective and to feel effective in the workplace, adult children need to learn to ask what is expected of them.” quote by Judy Klipin
