GETTING TO KNOW STEPHANIE PLATZMAN-DIAMANT OF CAVALRY PORTFOLIO SERVICES
- Along with wanting to taste her apple cider donuts, Stephanie Platzman-Diamant has planted a seed that may mark the first change to the “Getting to Know” series since it was launched more than six years ago. One of the questions has always been “What is one thing you do better than everyone else?”, but Stephanie’s answer makes me wonder if the question should be re-framed as “What is one thing that the people who know you would say you do better than everyone else?” This is a great example of one of her best pieces of advice — listen to someone’s answer before figuring out what you want to say back to them. Read on to learn more about Stephanie, her love of music, and the three books she is reading at the same time. This series is sponsored by Applied Innovation.
