Epilogue
Thanks to everyone for their support, it really means a lot. So in response to Thursday, on Friday, I put on a suit and stepped up at work. Real change happens from within and these days, when someone tells me I can’t do something, I take that as a challenge to prove them wrong.
The most amazing thing happened on friday, I spoke up in a really important meeting and made the CEO cry with an impassioned speech I gave about interconnectedness. Public speaking has really become my forte over the past 2 years. It’s something I never thought in a million years I would be good at.
After getting HIGH FIVES from my coworker, I was told by my boss that this was the time for me to create my own adventure. Next week, I am sitting down with her and redesigning my job and what I think a possible new title should be. I don’t know what the outcome will be but to be given the opportunity for promotion was pretty unexpected.
The future is really uncertain right now and history has shown that I don’t do well with the uncertain. I like to self-sabotage and create drama. Instead, I am going to focus on my program and the women I mentor. Helping others helps me. Also, in the completely unexpected last night, I took a newcomer to see Beauty and the Beast- AND she is on her third round of interviews at my company. Completely random- we met in line for the bathroom after a meeting. If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is.
