Well thats that!
Got the email from Norica saying i 'have not been selected' for the next round of the PwC Global Coordinator selection process'. You have to understand, this is something i was really looking forward to doing and thought i would be DAMN good at doing as well. But it IS a selection process and you win some, you lose some! It didnt help when i heard of other people who have made it to the next round, but you cant turn back the hands of time though. I just need to take some learning points away from this and make sure its positive feedback for the future.
But it still hurts though!
I have had a lot of work to squash the hurt though, getting ready for transition, and having LC Visit in Gothenburg! Now that was really cool. The more you work with the Balanced Scorecard and explain it other people, the more you understand it yourself. Spent 2 wonderful days with Sabina and her EB team as Aron and I facilitated NFAs, CSFs, Culture Review, Budget Drafts and so much more. Played a really interesting game of "I have Never Ever..." If you dont know the game, you should learn. You learn all sorts of quirky stuff about people! And some shocking ones too. (Although i think i was the only one with REALLY shocking stuff!)
And another highlight of the trip of course is that i got to meet up with Ayda Moayezadeh again. Is she the cutest, most mischevious person i ever met or what? Always a laugh, always a prank to be played on you, it's almost like being 11 again!!! We still have an ongoing conversation dont we Ayda? We must finish it soon, dont you think? Thank you AIESEC in Gothenburg for a great planning weekend, and Ayda for the invitation to your sister's place. It was amazing to interact with your nephew and niece.
One particular incident stands out here, Hilda a cheruby 4 year old and Ayda's niece, walked up to where i was sitting and started to touch my head and hair. Kinky hair must be a first for her. (haha) And when i was leaving and she held on to my hand and kept repeating that she wouldnt let me go....broke my heart! But I guess my charm with kids still holds true then. And the funny thing is that we couldnt understand each other. They were speaking Swedish and Persian and i was muddling along in English!
Picture here is of me mesmerising the kids and their guests with my charm! (Actually, i am bribing them with chocolate so they talk to me.)
