We had off for Mental Health day on Friday and the client was aware. They had requests that day and wanted a response - I directed the team not to respond. This was everyone’s day to enjoy and it wasn’t an emergency. I responded on Monday.

After too many freezes, delays, excuses, follow-ups, requests for updates, sent emails, and discussion escalations to count, I found out yesterday that the promotion I had put in many months ago for my direct report was finally APPROVED!!!! All credit goes to her for this well-deserved, long overdue recognition, but I do feel pride in myself as well for staying true to the commitment I made to myself early on to be the champion and mentor I’ve never had myself. I’ve never received a promotion from within my own company at any point, always being forced to make jumps in order to get what I needed and wanted professionally. So I can’t say what that’s like, but I can’t imagine it’s more exciting than THIS!!!! Literally have been watching the clock on my computer all day long waiting for 4:30, when I set up time for us to chat and tell her the big news. It’s been a hell of a week, and I thought what better high to go into your weekend with!!!! So excited!!

I’ve been able to teach one of the new AAEs at my agency how to do a few things! May not sound like much, but it’s been a nice reminder of how far I’ve come so far.

Any tips? Dealing with resourcing issues for one of our largest clients. We have enough hours, just waiting for more experienced team members to be hired to complete it. We’ve reprioritized work so many times to get what we can done with the team we have, but still have important items waiting to be completed with more Sr. Folks. We’ve also borrowed from other teams, but it doesn’t cover up the fact we could be getting the work done faster with the right team. Advice for dealing with the client?
