D-DAY!!!
I had finally done it at 4:30pm this afternoon. What am I talking about? It was actually a presentation that I am to do for my added role and responsibility.2 months ago, I was informed by my boss about the new role and responsibility. My boss promised me that if I can do it well, a promotion will happen in 6 months time. I am happy on one end but yet stressed up on the other cos' I do not want to disappoint my boss and also the expectation I have of myself.
The moment my boss told me about this, I knew that I will need to provide a plan for my boss for the Kick-off Meeting in October. At that time, I had bits and pieces of information here and there but I had problem piecing them together. I was stressed up over this for the longest time. True enough... one morning during end September, my boss internal chatted me to look for him as he intends to let me do a preso for the training program that I am doing in the end October Kick-off meeting. I almost flipped there and then. I mean I had done presentations before but this will be the first time I am giving a preso in this company and there will be half a hundred of attendees in the meeting, the MDs, the CGMs, FC, etc.
I was stressed to the ultimate!! The past one month I was swarmed with work, preparing the preso, product launch, training dates, existing duties, etc. I actually broke down in one of the nights but I felt better after crying it out. It has been a while since I felt so so tired. I was working non-stop on weekdays and for the past 2 weekends, I just spent them working on the preso. :( Finally, D-DAY came!! The Kick-off meeting was today and tomorrow and I was scheduled to present this afternoon.
Stressed! Stressed! Stressed! is all I can say. When I finished my presentation, the weight off me was amazing. The feedback wasn't too bad. I know what are the weaknesses I have and will definitely work on it. Am taking leave for the rest of the week after the Kick-off meeting ends tomorrow. I need a break and rest from work for a couple of days but somehow, I think I will still be checking my emails and working a bit here and there form home. :P
