Not purse related, but I feel like I need to buy something soon-ish to celebrate how well things are going at work at the moment.
It's been absolutely hectic and I'm working insane hours, which is sad
But, here are some of the things that have happened in the past 2 weeks:
- I have been given a very prominent slot in an industry conference next month. It's basically all a lineup of CEOs, and then pipsqueak Dawn. I am equal parts terrified and thrilled.
- I got highest speaker rankings at a course I chaired this week.
- I did a bunch of really scary meetings in the Caribbean and presented to the Board of my client. I've been asked to join their Board meetings to provide a direct line of advice going forward. To my manager, the feedback my clients gave was that I am "superb", "stupendous", a "consummate professional" and a "star"
- I went for coffee with the founding Partner of my firm yesterday and he says he only hears good about me (I've never worked directly with him). He says I have a unique skill set and that I should make Partner in the next batch of promotions, in about a year. I'm not sure I believe that. It's too fast!!
I'm only 31. I feel a bit scared that I'll burn out, but I'm really enjoying the buzz. I progressed very slowly in my career to begin with, and I've been very sad about some things in the past 5-6 years, so I'm very grateful for this element of my life running so brightly at the moment.
I thought I'd write down here, because my friends (

) would be happy and this thread is a bit of a diary for me
If only I wasn't so tired all the time... Must work on my work life balance!!
