Oops 😖 I did it again……..

Today, I'm reflecting on the rollercoaster ride 🎢 that has been my #professional and #personal development journey.
Spoiler alert: It's the missteps, not just the milestones, that have truly shaped me. 🌟
1. The Power of Perspective: I remember engaging in this #fabulous opportunity and realizing a few weeks in that gulp this was not the right 👉 fit.
We were so #misaligned on the vision of what 😦 they believed #HR and #peopleoperations to be vs.
the strategic value #hr and #peopleops brings to an organization when appropriately #activated
And Friends if you know you know 🙄. I wasn't sure how to bring the relationship to
a close and worse yet I thought it would end my career.
Plot twist: It taught me exactly what I DON'T want, which is priceless. 🎭
2. Failure = Growth Fuel: Failed projects? Check ✅ Missed opportunities? Check ✅ But each 'oops' moment was a stepping stone. Like that time I double booked an interview and a 1:1 😩🫣while I ended up cutting ✂️ both appointments in half to keep with the commitment, it taught me to be intentional with my time and to SLOW 🐌 down when scheduling 🌪️
3. Gratitude for the Grind: The grind can be tough, but it's also where the magic 🪄 happens. Late nights, early mornings, endless coffee – it's all been worth it. I've met incredible #mentors and #friends like y’all along the way, making each challenge a bit more bearable. ☕
4. Humor as a Survival Tool: If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? Like when I accidentally emailed a cat meme to the entire company. Embarrassing? Yes. Memorable? Absolutely. 🐱
So, here's to all the stumbles and faceplants. They've not only built resilience but also a sense of humor.
I’m grateful for every single one of them. They've made the victories all the sweeter!
