Does taking calls get better like at the start of coaching you struggle and then it naturally gets better because every call is different?

yeah pretty much, i still have to get up and ask/double check stuff sometimes. there are shifts where i don't get up at all and deal with everything by myself and other times where i'm constantly up and down, we all have good and bad days

Thanks for this information as it reassures me that the struggle right now will get better.

That’s great! How’s it going? Is it hard? I know I have heard you get exams and stuff during training. How is that?
