I love to get new things, try new restaurants, go to new places. It is exciting and fun. But when it comes to work...new does not excite me. It is scary and intimidating. It challenges me to step outside of my comfort zone and to think and act in a different way. I like old and comfy at work. It suits me! I have my routine and I know what to expect and when to expect it.
Tomorrow is the last time I will ever meet with my very first team of employees as a whole group. We are moving on to something new. It scares me! I have settled into a great routine with a wonderful group of people. They are my employees but they are also my friends and tomorrow I have to say good-bye to some of them. It is bittersweet. I will find a new groove and have a great new group of talent to help cultivate but the comfort of the old will be gone. The friendly banter and the jokes will change. The interactions will take on a new way of being. I am excited and I am nervous. I have shed a few tears this week as I think about all that this team has taught me!
Tomorrow we will celebrate what we have done, where we are going and who these nine people have shaped me into! And then we will step in the scary but amazing world of the new. The only thing that will remain unchanged is that change is inevitable and that "the beginnings and endings of all human undertakings are untidy."
