chilled with a bunch of close colleagues @ little bali last night.
if wasn't for the rain i would have loved to sit outdoors - more ambience
it was a great evening where drinks and food flowed but nothing beats the conversation that we had. definitely enjoyed myself thoroughly with this company.
a new MAP-mgmt assoc, was also this session. Interesting fella as we got to know him better during chillout.
He was born in Singapore, moved to HK and then to the US and now he is back here.
I would match his personality to his face at the first impression
Very rich life experience this person has.
just before chillout, I had an intense meeting with the council and I was chairing this meeting alone with the council members (some are quite senior ranked). I was very proud of myself at the end of it. I felt very high level executive, directing, influencing and managing the conversation flow and decision. Very enriching, but hard work due to all the preparations before. Of course I was brought back to reality since the action items have to be done by me. If I really was a high level executive, I wouldn't be doing the mundane shit work.
Now I can imagine myself how I would be like in the future at the top of the corporate chain! I need to be more pushy. At this point, I think I have the confidence, but I am too soft on my approach and this is not good for meeting deadlines. - note to self to be more aggressive.
I am afraid of offending people more than anything else since I do best when other people are happy around me.
I am very happy to hear feedback from my peers that I have got what it takes to be at
that level.
