I have learnt a damn lot these last few years.
Mainly because of my amazing job at the pharmaceutical company I work for and the many courses, surveys and people I am exposed too.
Learning and teaching is a fundamental part of my job and boy and I happy about that.
Honestly after some weeks I feel like I have grown so much I am 7 feet tall. I come home, often after offsites, richer in spirit, so much more mature and knowledgeable and terribly and desperately spent and exhausted.
The expectation to learn and grow is fast and fierce around here and I love getting to live into these expectations.
What I have learnt the most in the last two years is about feedback.
How to give it and how to receive it. Effectively..but most importantly..not just getting and giving it effectively but the desire to want to both give and receive more.
The good, the bad and the ugly. Because all of it is good and leads to good things in the end.
It’s amazing how when I get it-from people I respect…it impacts me, and sometimes disturbs me initially on some levels, but then fuels me into action.
When I give it….I feel like I am making a true difference in the person’s life. And I only give it to people I really love.
Recently, I have surrounded myself with people who both like to give and receive feedback. I have surrounded myself with people who are supportive of me and allow themselves to be supportable by others. I have surrounded myself with people who are non judgmental and open and free.
It feels like a part of me is going full circle and coming back to my roots. Where I have spent most of my life hiding from, but a good part of my life needing. Newer relationships and older relationships-all coming full circle to a wonderful and fulfilling place. Because of them. Because of me.
In the last couple of years I feel like I am coming home in a lot of ways.
And it feels so damn good.
But I am exhausted and I want to sleep. Growing (and watching other grow) is very, very tiring.
