I didn’t cry this week!
A member of my team won an all-agency award. Proud manager moment.
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.
Setting boundaries for the client so the team can be well
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.
