Promoted

The most successful of this generation are “those who have been given opportunities- and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them.” I really did not see it coming. I know that an important person in our company is about to resign, but since his position is unconnected to mine, I thought that I would not be affected at all. His post will be vacant so the management will undergo restructuring. So, I was offered to be the new Trainer, and my initial reaction is to decline. It is a huge responsibility. Our previous Trainers did not last long. Each one of them resigned after a short tenure. As a Team Leader I worked with our current Trainer and I know how hard it is to be on his shoes. He is on the frontline to deal with the manager about the concerns of the clients and team leaders. I think that was his greatest challenge and I must say that he was able to do a good job on his reign. To accept the torch will mean that I will no longer have the safety net. I will be the representative of not only the Team Leaders but also all the teachers. But I am proud to say that I overcame my cynic, negative and coward self. I realized that it is all up to me how I would perceive this change, and I decided to see this as an opportunity. It is my chance to grow and to learn. After almost half a decade doing what I do best at work, being a teacher and a Team Leader, I think it is high time to shake things up. For the longest time, I had been dreaming to be a Communication coach in a call center company. In a way, it was given to me, but it was wrapped in a different package. I may be hesitant at first, but now I am determined to show that I was chosen for this job because I really can excel on it.
