I WANT TO CHANGE JOB! 😳
----
No, that's not actually true...
But it was the first ironic thought that crossed my mind yesterday morning
when my alarm started ringing at 5 am,
giving me a couple more hours to review before
taking my D1 exam for the West Diploma course at the WSET School London Wine & Spirit Education Trust
It often happens to me, particularly when I'm about to tackle something challenging,
that I find myself in a state of panic at the very last minute,
questioning WHY I've put myself in such a situation.
Whether it's before an exam I've chosen to take,
standing at the starting line of a full marathon,
or preparing a speech to a large audience,
this feeling is familiar!
I am confident that my exam went quite well.
I was comfortable with all the topics that were asked
and made as many connections between information and facts as possible.
If yesterday morning's feeling was that the wine business might be too much for me,
or that the level of success I aspire to might be out of reach,
today,
after a good night's sleep and a strong coffee, I feel differently.
I want to become the best professional I CAN BE in the wine business.
Stepping out of your comfort zone is an incredibly powerful way to empower yourself and broaden your perspectives.
We should each aim to personally achieve a small, challenging goal at least once a week,
as Francesca Becucci - my study partner in this journey,
rightly suggested me yesterday.
What is your challenging goal for this week?
