Post-training!

Yesterday I had my CLC, or Certified Learning Coach, training in Happy Valley with two of my team members, Danielle and Lena. There was only a total of 6 Red Robiners, as I would call it, in our session, which was much better than the 18 that were in the first session! We had more time to discuss each step more in depth, and also get a better understanding of what was changing, as well as what was expected of us. My experience was phenomenal. Our "teacher" was a regional manager in California, but Arizona was his home starting point. It was interesting to get an inside view of what goes on in the company, and knowing we were going to be a part of such a big change and transition that it's making in upcoming months, and years.

I'm really excited to get to work tonight and talk to my managers about my experience. It is going to be amazing to begin working on having more patience, and preparing myself for my future. My career goal is to be a physical therapist, which requires a lot of instruction, patience, commitment, and honesty. All of which I'll be practicing as a CLC.

It is extremely exciting to feel so needed within the company you work for, so I am beyond thrilled I made it through all of these initial tests, and have received my certification! Things can only get better from here! :)

New Beginnings!

It's been almost a year since I've made a post, wow! So much has happened. I was training for expo around this time last year, and now I've become a server! I'm currently training to become an expo trainer. I'm still loving my job, and probably even more than ever. I've just recently started closing the floor as a server, and I couldn't be more excited, thrilled, and proud of myself.

As for school, I'm progressing more and more! Today I took a placement test in order to get out of taking a critical reading course, and getting one more step closer to graduating. After I finish this spring semester in May, I've got to take a cultural credit class this summer, and then I'll have my associates in science, as well as arts! What could be better than one degree? That's right! TWO! :) In the fall I'll be at ASU, and I've never been more excited for school!

My main goal for this week, and for my future, is to become more independent. I've kind of slacked off some, and yes, people do need people, but it's something I feel will help me out for my future. Vince and I have been going through a lot of changes lately, and in order to do my part to make sure we continue moving forward with our relationship, I'm making some decisions for myself, which will hopefully help us both in the end. I've always said I'd be his cheerleader when I moved out here, help him continue forward with his own goals, and be by his side when he needs me to be. Well I've begun to see I haven't been the very best cheerleader that I could be, so that's something I'm truly going to work on.

Life throws a lot at you sometimes, and I'm trying to take it day by day, and step by step from now on. Here's to improvement overall! :) Have a fantastic day, bloggers!
