The executive director was very rude and unprofessional in her comments to me.

Amy – these are great! If I might add a 10th… curiosity. I’ve always felt to be really good at the ‘matchmaking’ you have to innately want to know what makes people tick; what lights them up and stirs their passion. Certainly getting to know someone like this takes time to build trust and make them feel comfortable enough to open up.
