[QUOTE="Jessica Pearson - Managing Partner, post: 249742, member: 39846"] Hey. Firstly, congratulations on making it to the AC. This is in itself a huge achievement. Apologies in advance for the unsolicited advice that I am about to give. Firstly, this is your first AC and they take practice. It's good that you're getting feedback as this is ofc going to give you a road map for how to improve going forward. It is difficult to assess on your own how you did so I would say don't stress about it in the meantime. I have had a similar situation where someone took control of the group. I have no idea of how they did outside of that and this may be incorrect advice but my thinking is that it is important to know how to navigate situations like this. You can try and be direct and say hey, I haven't heard from xyz or we need to move on to abc. Things like timekeeping shouldn't be relied on one person as if they are like this or make a mistake, it negatively affect everyone. At the end of the day, firms want to see how you work with people which includes collaborating with difficult personalities. I hope this helps. P.S. how do you know how people did? [/QUOTE]
