A professional.

I have confidence I am now back onto a path that fits into where my interests lie. I finally have the feeling that I'm where I want to be professionally, which I didn’t have in July with Cirrus. I think that’s very important. As ridiculous as it sounds I take a good feeling from walking through London smartly dressed in a suit. It’s like I’ve jumped and reached the goal I’ve been aspiring to throughout my entire education- giving me the full right to mix with other professionals that have worked just as hard. It must have been something I subconsciously aspired to a while back.

It’s been a tough start actually. The reading has been heavy, though I’m not falling over backwards as university was just as tough – especially the research required for the health informatics modules in the final year. The other factor has been working from home, which I really like in some cases but it’s easy to sometimes feel isolated and/or distracted. Though I couldn’t have survived without working independently in the past I have always had the option to physically change my work location. I am starting to use starbucks once a week and I’m thinking of getting into a pattern of using different rooms of the house to work in- just to help me get acclimatised.

Anyway. Back to Lean, Six Sigma, and CRM for now. I have a lot of different aspects of work to get going with and I’m sure I’ll be blogging more about great days and frustrating days as I start to use these tools more. I’d love to become specialist enough to have the confidence to apply such tools independently with professionals in the future.

Have a good evening, I hope you enjoyed the summer. By the looks of today we’ve had the last of it.

Until next time..
