As I embark on a new adventure, many send me encouragements over the past few days and I am deeply grateful for these well-wishes as it really gave me strength and courage. So below is what I concluded from the first 3 days:
1. It is really a challenge for me as the role is totally different from what I have done in the past. To me it is a bigger role and from the on boarding, they seems to have very high expectation. Not to forget, i was in such a comfort zone for the past few years and my brain was kinda in a hibernation mood. So now is the time for me to restart that brain.
2. Due to the nature of the role, I need to interact with various department and get their support. However, i have a feeling that there is certain politics involved and so I need to be extremely careful and not end up being pushed around or walked over. Touchy...Will they be moved by my "Ms Nice" magic?
So at this point, I am not 100% confident that I can deliver. But having said that I will just continue to give 100% effort and hard work and let god do the rest for me.
One additional thing that I am extremely proud is I am enable to lunch alone. In the past, I will be extremely sad if I am not part of a group and have the feeling that I am a outcast. But though my colleagues did not offer to have lunch with me, I was actually not that affected as I know they will not be comfortable with me due to different style and background. I guess this is a sign of maturity, right?
Anyway, please pray for me that I will survive and integrate into this new environment. Jia You! Jia You!
