Refocusing My Efforts
There is a lot going on at work right now. For my department, we are in the middle of our busiest time of year. All of this while I am still trying my best to learn this job. Coming from a Sales and Marketing background and stepping into the world of revenue is not easy.
I made this move to 1) Get the Title 2) Gain the Revenue Experience & Knowledge and 3) Learn an entirely new aspect of the Business. Was this the job for me? I can honestly say no. I am a people person. Sales is where I belong. However, I am doing my best to master all aspects of this job before I plan on jumping ship.
October will be a year in the position. I plan on doing two and then exploring my options. So far, I am learning but some of the projects make me feel like I am in way over my head.
Therefore, I plan on refocusing my efforts to tackle the tasks I have yet to master. I refuse to lose. As the only Black person in the Region with my job.....I have to carry that responsibility and make us all look good. I know the Haters want me to fail but....it ain't gonna happen.
I am on the job.....

I'm rooting for you, Nineteen. You can do it!
Lady, if anyone can do it, you can. You've never struck me as someone that can't handle a challenge. Kick that job's butt!
"I refuse to lose."
AMEN!!! You are unstoppable.
Cross-training can be a wonderful thing. I hated changing responsibilites back in the day now I can see a bigger picture. I get the process better. I am sure this will only improve what you love to do.
I hear ya! Let em know what time it is!
Almost two years ago I changed jobs, same large department but different administration and totally different work. Previously I had been doing the same type work for 20 years. Quite a few times I wanted to jump ship. But I came over here for more money and to do something different. I guess I got what I asked for. So everytime I sit in a meeting confused and still struggling to understand just what the hell all these daggone acronyms mean, I tell myself that I have to show these folks that this old dog can learn new tricks. Or can a least pull some old tricks out of her hat! Ha!
Change is good, moving out of your comfort zone is good. Enjoy the challenge!
I have a quote pinned on my board in my office, I have no idea who the author is.
"There is pain in change and there is pain in staying the same. Pick the one that moves you forward"
do it do it do it do it!
