So, the last six or eight months have been pretty shitty, work-wise. Some horrid people entering my sphere and getting everything all fucked up and crazy and then blaming me far and wide for some resulting dropped balls. I mean, it wasn't all her, I did miss a few steps. And all of this coinciding with new leadership coming on board at the boss and grandboss level. Plus my job has changed, in a good way, but in a way that means I'm now responsible for some shit that I really don't know how to do. (Marketing plan, what??)
So anyway we had two days of meetings this week with my boss Heather and her leadership team (inc. me) and a facilitator to plan out how the new org is going to work.
So this practically had me in tears this morning:
Email from Boss: "Said this once, but I’d like to say it again – I think your leadership and voice over the last few days was incredibly powerful. I see more and more how and why you are a “leader among leaders”… it was energizing to see you in action! Keep it up,
Email from Grandboss: Agreed. Brenda - it was soooo lovely to hear you make the toast at RPM. And alan dropped me a note to let me know that he was very impressed with your leadership, passion and general knowledge. Thanks for embodying the team values and stepping up to be such a great partner to heather. I look forward to many continued conversations as our journey is just beginning!
