Hey Reader 5,823 miles later, I am here. I have caught 6 flights in the last 2 months and ya girl it tired. But I am here to grace yoru inbox with another newsletter so let's get into it Quote"If it make you happy, it's not a waste of time" -- IG Highlights
Our reflection I moderated a change management panel that was webcasted throughout the company and there is a recording *cringe*. I had never done something like that in the company. From that experience in a matter of hours, my phone was flooded & my Team's chat was clogged. When the cameras were cut and we were un-micing, two of the panelists told me I found my calling. An attendee told me,“we have found our new moderator for all of our events." When walking back to the office, a panelist told me ,"you're so thoughtful and strategic we need you on this work stream." I know alllll of these are good things but I honestly felt and still feel overwhelmed because I want to do it all but at the cost of what. It all has impact, it all has value, it all is aligned with what I want to do but I am simultaneously trying to gain visibility within my own organization so I don’t have the bandwidth to do that, lead 2 work-streams, my day job and stretch assignment, mentor, and still have a life outside of work that includes working part-time and growing Be Great By Design. Yes I am aware it is a good problem to have but I feel like I have to choose between having an impact and propelling my own career. I face this same dilemma on the business side. I have huge ideas for Be Great By Design. One conversation turned this into leadership training and development. Another conversation turned this into additional services that allow me to work with a phenomenal organization and expand my knowledge. That opportunity led to futuristically considering being on the executive team when I’m ready. I’m honestly always taken aback and want to say yes to the opportunity but when my blue-detailed oriented, logistic questioning brain overwhelms me I begin to doubt myself. I know I talk about prioritizing often but I am curious to know:
