random and random

I don't think I was really prepared for how big a new job can shake things up. It's been a shakin' and crazy month or so. But it's getting better. You know the wide-open sales road is very different from my past position. It has been very freeing and allowed me to breath for the first time in a while. I truly do believe everything happens for a reason and I am where God wants me to be. North Oaks was where I was supposed to be for the past 3.5 years. I was able to heal during my time there and also still grow professionally. I enjoyed management very much - it is very different from sales - but I managed a great group of professionals and they each taught me so much. I think that is where so many managers get it wrong -- they think they have the answers for everything and miss out on alot. Good managers should surround themselves with talented individuals - they should all bring something to the table. If they don't --- they shouldn't be there. You have to trust your team and you have to earn the trust of your team. Otherwise --- it can get ugly.

Ok --- I don't know where that came from --- I am enjoying my new job. It is fun to be out in the field, meeting new people, pounding the pavement. It brings me back to some of my HealthSouth days. Good Times! I had a training session in Tampa at the end of July and it was a blast! I don't think I have ever had such a fun training session. We went through several big binders and had some long days but the people were great and we laughed a ton! My new job has also given me some freedom to get back to me and have some fun!

ok--random thoughts for tonight.


Much Love,

Summer
