In life you will meet people who will believe that you can soar high before you even realize that you have wings.

I have a very low alcohol tolerance but I was more than willing to take this shot for one of the best managers I had in my career. Definitely no goodbyes, see you in 2016. :)

What I should have said yesterday

So you've had enough experience to handle awkward conversations? Good for you. Obviously what your experience didn't teach you is that in the grand scheme of things, being kind trumps being right. Every single time.

I hope that you never find yourself in his shoes someday. And if you do, I hope that you would have given enough kindness to the world so that there will be someone who'll defend you the way I defended him.

8 years of passion to perform

In a women's engagement session yesterday with two of our leaders from the region, someone asked them about their biggest regret in their career. I reflected on the same question and asked myself if I had my share of regrets. And i realized that careerwise, I can't think of any. Not that the road has been smooth the entire time but I just can't think of anything that I would want to change. I am celebrating my 8th anniversary with the bank today. Yes, celebrating is the right word. Work has been such a big part of my life in the past 8 years so it's a blessing to be doing something that gives me a sense of fulfillment. The next 2 years may be bumpy for the organization but I am grateful to have been given a seat in the bus as we go through this journey. I am looking forward to take part in the transformation.
