1 class down, 11 to go!

I just finished the first class in my Master's program at University of Denver, and holy crap, it was hard. Graduate Writing and Research...a requirement for all Master's students.  It was apparent how much I had forgotten since my undergrad studies, and I really wrote more music than papers for my Bachelor's. This class was focused around writing a research proposal, something I had never done before.

All this to say, I am off to a great start. I just received an email from my professor, and I received the following fabulous grade...

That's it...I'll get over myself now :-)

Why I do what I do

I'm in Northern California this week for work, and while I enjoy business trips, the best part of my day was the time I spent with my husband and munchkins on FaceTime. Although I miss my family so much when I'm gone, I really love the work I do, and I started thinking more about that today as I was conducting interviews to hire a new team member. The question that I began thinking on is Why do I love the work I do?

Answer: It doesn't feel like work.

My entire job is focused on helping individuals and teams identify and reach their potential. My success comes from the growth of those that I serve. I'm able to be creative, innovative, and always growing in community.

It's pretty amazing really. I'm thankful for my job and the joy that it brings every day. I am even more thankful for a husband who supports me in pursuing my passions through my career!
