From Kim

Going back to the interview question. I forgot to say this, don’t use hypothetical questions. Hypothetical questions give you hypothetical answers. I think just really knowing what your staff are, like what they're hoping to gain and what, what growth that they want to have, whether it's personal growth, professional growth, really speaks a lot about how much we care for them, and then if we circle back to that and help them.
