Senior citizens may cringe when being referred to as mature, but hopefully the rest of us will take it as a compliment rather than a slight. I don’t know about you, but I love dealing with people who are able to:
***receive constructive feedback without being defensive.
***be genuinely happy for someone who may not be their favorite.
***learn through others experience.
***say “I was wrong”.
***speak of accomplishments in ‘we’ terms, not ‘me’ terms.
These are signs of maturity—the good kind! They’re also signs that you’re dealing with a professional.
