Describe your most "humbling" moment:
There was one time where I was working for an insurance company and we were going through some restructuring. I revealed some information to a client that I didn't realize was a big deal until there was an emergency mandatory meeting called to find out what had happened because it turned out to be a REALLY big deal. I thought I had been helpful but instead I think we lost a really big client.
