Yesterday, I brought home to have framed a promotional poster given to me by one of my very dear clients. I knew what it generally looked like (seeing as I approved it) I hadn't really studied it too closely until now. Depicted on it is four vacationers jumping gleefully off of a steep rock into what should be sufficiently deep water (I hope).
It's the perfect poster for my office, since it depicts my approach to career development. I'm forever jumping into things, with mostly my intuition to guide me. I applied to jobs because I "liked" the description and the company. I made the switch to a different group because, after thinking about things, it simply "felt" like the best choice. I always depending on this quirky thing called faith when I try and pre-determine whether or not I'll land safely. You can have me draw out as many charts and pros-and-cons lists, but I'll only decide when I reach this innate comfort level. And then, whole-heartedly and with little to lose...I'll jump.
