New Assignment

10 Apr 2012

So i have been with APN Education Media in Sydney since beginning of February.

It has been an invaluable experience coming in the middle of a lot of change for this organisation and being asked to take charge and bring some stability to the front.

And while I was still finding my feet in a new work place, there has been a lot of issues which needed to be resolved.

Two months later as I get ready to move back to Auckland, I can proudly say that the organisation is a lot more settled than it has been in the last few months. However the job is far from complete and unfortunately, i wont be here to see it through. Nevertheless, I do believe that things will only get better with time.

On a lighter note, the Easter weekend in Sydney was brilliant and I kicked it off with Salsa dancing on the thursday night. This was followed by an epic BBQ on friday, some R&R on Saturday and then another BBQ on sunday, followed by some more much required R&R on monday. Where did the weekend disappear!

Monkey-ing around

 

Good bye but not yet....

 10 Feb 2012

I am nearly at the end of this Fast Track program. Cannot really believe that it has been almost 24 months since we started this journey.

Where does that leave me? I have had a good opportunity to go through and examine the last two years and can gladly say that I do not regret applying for and accepting this position.

I have had the good fortune of meeting with some amazing and some not so amazing people but each interaction, each project has taught me a lot.

Don’t worry this is not my good bye post but just a precursor to that.

The time is near….

Group Catch up

24 January 2012

Just came back from a week in Sydney catching up with the Fast Track family. We went through a presentation by each person which gave us an insight about what they had been working on. It was also a good opportunity to gain some feedback about my own presentation.

Sid took a workshop on finance topics and it was easily one of the best i have ever been a part of. Good job Sid!

The whole week flew by really fast and before we knew it, we were heading home. Thank you Tracy for organising the whole thing.
