I wrote this to The Officials Slack Community members today…

Today I am working on more content for the Creative Problem Solving course coming oh so soon and writing about failure and how we can use it as fuel.

I had a horrific work experience last year and it felt like it was never-ending. In fact it was only 5 months but it was happening during one of the most exciting times of my life, the first round of the Mentorship program. I eventually quit that job (something I had done 2 weeks into it but was convinced to stay) and I felt like a failure though I knew it was the right thing to do. Today, I started writing about how despite the circumstances I was in I still beat myself up. I still felt like I was failing because there were problems I couldn’t solve. And I like to solve all problems.

I was tagged on a LinkedIn post by Paula Harding asking for my views on the skills needed in today’s workforce. If you know me, you know I have extensive thoughts on the admin and assistant industry and this is just one of many.

I just so happened to have been in the bath at the time, my favorite thinking spot, and I recorded my thoughts while they had a chance to run free.
