The birth of my two childrens.
Changing job domain from academia to industry.
I learned to trust God also in harder times.
I went on the Hoffman process - changed my life! Most bizarre, emotional and happy experience. I am now more self aware, have much more awareness of other people (especially my parents IYKYK)
I met a person in that time who means a lot to me today.
Over the course of the last 7 years, I have undergone a complete transformation. I switched careers, tied the knot, and finally achieved the vision of the woman I always aspired to be.
I have finally learned to always put my family first, before my work, which has been a long hard process mentally and emotionally. Jobs can come and go, but your family will always remember all of the late nights, and missed school and sporting events. It's just not worth it!ย
In the last 7 years my wife and I moved across the country, started new jobs, then I started ANOTHER new job in a different sector. Been crazy but slowly balancing things out!
I made the decision to leave my job after 9 years, which then cause financial struggles for about a year. Found myself back at a company I had previously worked at (best decision). And was able to buy my first home.
In the last 7 years i change jobs and become happier.
The last 7 years has been full of changes, especially with Covid! I've had personal life changes and found my soul mate, which was my very first bf ... reunited after 36 years. We are able to work hybrid schedule and discovered another side of work and life!
7 years has encompassed a lot of struggles and changes.ย The most significant were the births of my 2nd and 3rd child. That'll change your world.ย
The most recent was an unplanned change in careers, which helped me de-stress my life and get my life priorities straight. Now I'm spending a lot more time with my family.ย
In the last 7 years I have managed to achieve one of the goals I set myself 14 years ago, namely being a speaker at a national marketing event. The positive thing is that after the first public speech, many others followed and I can say that I have reached 6 public events, 10 private events, 2 universities and 1 high professional training school.
I think now I know my right priorities!
Seven years ago I was brand new with my company. Since then I've been promoted, sold my house for a cross-country move, went to remote work before it was cool, got some more promotions, moved back across the country and bought another house.ย
Loving my life, and finally feeling like a grown-up.ย
I survived breast cancer. ๐
I got my current job and started learning to use Wrike
Five years ago I took on an impossible project for a company I had worked with before. I got it to market on time and under budget and now I manage the scheduling for all the creative development at the same company. It felt like coming home and I am so glad I took the risk.
Two years ago I transitioned from communications to a project manager role in my company. It's been great to learn and grow my skills in a new field.ย
Learning to balance Life and Work!! Making sure when I shut down at the office, I leave it there to focus and make time for family & friends!
