A digital break
Before the holidays, I decided I need to unclutter my brain. I have this thing about balance – I love challenge and energy at work and peace and partnership at home. I think on my Myers-Briggs results over the years and that makes sense to me – I am an ENTP but my E is borderline I. The results are so close, that some tests over the years call E, some I. Most people who meet me would think I am definitely an E but to have that level of energy, I need to recharge. I’m fortunate that my husband is my best friend and he totally understands me - we match in that lovely and indefinable way that has brought us 15 wonderful years and many more to come.

Side Note: Stuff going through my head
I’m starting a new element on my blog that I think I am going to call Side Note. Here’s where I am at with this – I love what I do and as a key part of that, I really like engaging with others in the field (picking your brain is lots of fun for me) and the chance to share my learnings and mistakes along the journey of customer experience is part of the that fun. But (you knew that was coming, right?) there is a person in The Corporate Woman and I think there’s stuff I’d like to share on that front on occasion as we go. You let me know if it gets too tangled or your not interested. I can always split the path.

A delay and an apology…
Well, I confess that I have gone awry in my writing as of late. My apologies for that. My confessions of ineptitude are mere excuses (life got in the way, shoulder injury, poor sleep, etc…) and I shall do my best to do better
This week, I will kick off my thoughts on the core of a successful customer experience program and I look forward to hearing from you as we go. Onwards to Part 1 of the discussion!

Happy in your job or making the right hiring decision
I am fortunate to be doing what I love and really enjoying the people and the culture of my company. Like most of you, I have had jobs where that was not the case. In fact, I’m willing to bet that some of you reading this are in that type of job right now. How do we go from being excited about a new job to wondering how we can get out?
The Power of Reflection
Setting aside time to reflect gives you the opportunity to see how things fit together and identify gaps. This nothing new, right? You know this, have experienced it, whether it was in your personal life or work life or both. So if we know it, have felt the benefit of it, why is it so hard to do? Why do we feel compelled to fill up every precious waking minute with a task? How many of you feel the impulse in an idle moment to pick up your Blackberry or iPhone (or similar item)? Do you ask yourself why? I do.

Final surgery update!
Hello all – as promised, this is my final report out on my surgery results from Feb. I would say I have reached full recovery now. Still some minor pain on big sneezes and occasional twinges but good for my purposes. Now for the good news – did it deliver on all the anticipated benefits? I give it a resounding YES!
Small, angry voices…
I admit to fear and to worry and to doubt. I am fortunate in these times of fear and uncertainty, where many are suffering the most dramatic and awful change of their lives. I am thankful, every day, for what I have: my good health (and health insurance), my loved ones (and their good health), my great job (that I am lucky to love) and the basics we all need (food, shelter, etc…). My heart goes out to those who are suffering because I remember earlier days where a roof over my head was uncertain, not much food (so thankful for free school lunch programs) and no health insurance (or money for much needed medicines, like my asthma inhaler). I remember and my heart cries out for them.

My surgery – the gory details
My view of my septoplasty and the snoring surgery. For those of you who don’t know me, I was born with a severely deviated septum, with only a tiny opening in the right side of my nose. For me, this is normal. Little did I know that it is part of why I have low energy levels and don’t seem to get enough rest, even after a good nights sleep. The nose actually needs both sides to work right and properly oxygenate you. After years of dreading the surgery pain, I finally decided that my gift of better living to myself this year would be breathing better. I do one of these every year – for example, one year I gave up soda, another fast food, another caffeine. Each a step towards changing my lifestyle to a healthier one.

Speaking at Toastmasters
I had the opportunity to speak to the local Toastmaster’s group and guests yesterday on the topic of public speaking. I shared with them my journey from terror and lots of mistakes to finally learning how to be comfortable and myself in front of an audience. I was happy to share my pain and suffering in the hopes that someone could learn from what I have learned. The most fun was hearing the questions people asked!

Happy Birthday
This past weekend was wonderful! My daughter turned six and I was so happy to see her light up with joy and excitement this weekend. She had her party, which she enjoyed immensely. We took her out to dinner and an evening show of the Nutcracker ballet for the first time, which she thought was neat. She was amazed at all the little girl ballerinas. She has always loved that story, so it helped make the ballet come alive for her. Seeing the whole weekend through her eyes was so sweet and poignant. What happy memories we made – and memories, that’s what we have of the past, isn’t it? Even though those are imperfect things, those memories, it’s what gives us the grounding for our today’s.
