But I can tell you the 4 months of rushing preparation are no fun.
I’m glad, really glad that everything turned out well. It turned out to be better than I expected actually. Yes, we encountered hiccups along the way but I guess no mountain too high, no valley too deep huh?
My thoughts:
My team members and I came together with a different vision and wavelength. Sometimes it’s necessary for me to slow down my pace just to accommodate theirs. In this case, it’s hard for me to draw a fine line between good or bad. We started off rough, but later on we were getting into shape and right on track. Personally, I did not a great time during the first couple of months. It seemed like I carried out my job out of obligation and responsibility. I did question myself on why I took up this project knowing it was not solely on my own liking and passion. Blame my big mouth for saying yes to everything! Initially I wanted to outdo myself, since I have never tried organizing an event from out of state before. Well, things just turned rather different that I thought. There are moments I felt de-motivated, but revealing in front of my teammates is not a wise move or helpful either. As a leader, I have no intention to dampen the spirit of others. Plus I’m no quitter. This time around I was more of a navigator than a pilot. It gave a new twist in my leadership style which is something new and different for me, but not necessarily a pleasant feeling. But I take it as it comes. As me and teammates work closely together, we shared an intimate bond within us. I’m not sure if the intimate is the right word, haha. I’m surprised how close we became, how united we were, and how much fun we had. The gap between us definitely has narrowed down as we put our differences aside.
The journey was bumpy but enjoyable.
Happy Ending.
