When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher. Teacher craze lasted a few years. When teenage acne took over, I had a distant family friend visit us from the United States. She had an eclectic selection of high-heeled shoes my sheltered eyes had ever laid eyes on. And, she told heroic tales of her experiences being a detective. So, I wanted to be a detective. So, as my wants blended with the winds and went place to place, I too floated from a small town in rural Punjab to a small Midwestern town in the US. Destiny winds continued to sway me around. I found myself in a high-rise in Downtown Chicago in 2007, at Buc, France giving Agile training in 2015, and last summer, I joined Allstate in Chicago land as a Program Manager.<\/p>\n
One thing is same in my aged heart from the one that beat in me as a child \u2013 desire to get better, anxiety to succeed in life and in career. The burning desire had me chasing \u201cthe road less traveled\u201d or simply \u201cthe road I wished to travel on.\u201d<\/p>\n
I recently changed roles for the third time, I must say, within Allstate in my first year itself. Blame the burning desire inside me that is waiting for the right winds to propel me because all I can see is as far as the headlights of my near vision.<\/p>\n
What do I do? I am an Agile Coach, I change people\u2019s behaviors for a living. May I say, I do the same at home as a mother. Beyond the headlights, only lies the ashes from my desire of where I want to go and where I want to be.<\/p>\n
For now, I am teaching myself a lesson I have applied all my life. Do the best you can. Give the best you can. And, worry not for the rest. Let\u2019s roll!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
