"Woman.. you rocked!"
How goooood does it feel to hear these words in the morning,.. just before you start work??..
Now, before all of you get any ideas, No!.. It doesn't have anything to do with Morning s** and you rocking in b**... :)
A few days ago, I got the opportunity to host an event for my account at the company. The crowd was not big, but everyone who knew me in the company was there.. It's been a long time since I've been on a stage.. It's been a long time since I was on a stage for that long.. hosting..
While, I wouldn't say I was superb, great etc..(occupational hazard of being a obsessive self-critic.. you never are happy with your work.. ) I was not bad. In fact, I would even say "I was GOOD.." (A psychiatrist would ask me to keep repeating that sentence in present tense! ..)
Well, the key to hosting is knowing that it's not about you.. You are the supporting actor.. and every one else is the Priority no.1.. (and keeping the crowd on their toes, lots of fillers between stage setups, and big stack of goodies to give away!!..)
The best part of the experience.. The next day morning, one of the seniors in the account, who just moved out called me. I din't recognize the number and just picked the call thinking it was one of the bank customer care offering a credit card,.. as usual.
These were the first words she said, "Woman!.. You rocked!" It took a minute to snap out and get that!.. But, damn!... it felt good to hear that.
Then she had a nice chat with me, offering her time for any career advice and help. That felt good, and that's how a good morning starts...
