I am a planner.
I like to know what is coming.
I don't really like surprises.
I'm not opposed to change, but I better have control over the change that is happening.
Essentially, I'm a borderline control freak.
May 2012 brought a major life change. I dropped everything I knew, everything I was comfortable with and took a huge leap of faith to move to LA and start working as the sole marketing employee for The Marcus Buckingham Company as their Marketing Manager.
Within three weeks I was offered a job on the spot, participated in my MBA graduation, signed a lease for an apartment, took a celebratory cruise, tied up loose ends with PLNU and moved to LA to start my new life. It wasn't always sunshine and rainbows, it actually was terrible for a long time, but I decided to embrace the change, continue to grow professionally and take time to reflect on what I wanted in life. This past year has been 90% out of my comfort zone, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I've grown and changed a lot in the last year and I'm incredibly grateful for all of those involved in making me who I am today.
Being a borderline control freak, you'd think I had enough change in summer 2012 that summer 2013 would be smooth sailing, right? Hardly...
I'm excited to announce another major life switch.
