This is one of the most hectic trips which I had high stress level as we were preparing our second own event celebrating International Women's Day.
The challenges are the company hands off so I prepared this alone with one and my only one team and representative from other organization, WeConnect International.
We initiated this event end of February and just less than 1.5 months we made it happen.
My company challenged me if I didn't get any sponsorship, just aborted the plan.
I almost gave up but with encouragement from the counter part, we did the best.
There are many adjustment from the ideation until execution and there are many hiccups that I need to do damage control and staying late and slept after midnight.
I left my family and kids behind even though they were sick at home.
I cried every night and told God that I couldn't do it anymore if You don't help me. Everything is not under my control.
Thanks God the event went well, the participants were so happy and very inspired by the speakers we invited.
As I thought I can pat myself and proud to myself, one of colleagues who did nothing stole the limelight, announced to the whole world that it's her project and as if she's the one initiated and leading it.
It really disgusted and turned me off. I told myself, she already lost my respect.
If she announced it under company's account, then I am fine but she announced it under her own LinkedIn with her pictures and only few guests that was invited by her and still said thank you to the sponsors and speakers even though she never knew these guys.
I was so pissed off with her attitude and behaviour.
I tried to let go and told myself, it's alright. She may claim all the glory but people will know the truth.
Anyway, I was so grateful that everything was went well and when I came back home, the kids and hubby missed me so much. They told a lot of stories and behave so well.
Nothing is more important than my family !
