As I said a few posts back, I'd rate my career as a solid 8 out of 10 - I might even kick that up to 9 out of 10 (there is a reason I don't do those surveys everyone asks us to do...).
This has been a year of learning and settling in.
For those of you who don't know, I moved from one Federal agency (and department) to another, and from one state to another - and from an urban/suburban area to a rural area.
There are some similarities and a lot of differences - and it's all good!
As I move into the twilight years of my Federal career (I'm eligible to retire in three years), I look back and can't believe how fast it has gone and how far I have come.
I have been blessed with great mentors along the way, people who saw my potential and encouraged me to grow, even when that meant they would lose me as an employee. Those folks saw the potential for the greater good of the organization as well as my growth as an employee rather than the potential loss of an asset from their particular department.
I only hope I can do the same for my employees now that I am a supervisor.
I enjoy helping others grow, and hope that I am doing a good job of that.
What have you harvested in your career this year? What areas are doing well, and what areas need a bit more pruning and fertilizing? How can you move forward in the coming year?
We will close out the Harvest blogs with relationships - until next time, Namaste!
