I moved to France

I moved to France.

Nice, France, to be exact.  Not recently - more like decades ago (see hair in photo).

You see, I decided to become a French teacher when I was in high school.   

So I:

⭐Competed for a placement at Université de Nice. 

⭐Finished my B.A.

⭐Finished my B.Ed. 

⭐Attained my French specialist certificate

⭐Got a job teaching.

And found out I LOVED the kids but hated the job. 

After 2 years, I left.   Adrift.  

Who would want me?  What was I qualified for?   

🍏Turns out my thirst for learning and perpetual development translated well.  

Since leaving my first career, I’ve worked as a:

⭐Bilingual CSR 

⭐PAP Queen (Supervisor of Pre-authorized Payments, natch)

⭐Trainer

⭐Project Leader

⭐Manager

⭐Director

⭐VP

⭐Business Owner

Along the path - so different from what I'd envisioned in high school - I continued to support my own AND other people’s growth and development. 

In some ways, I never really left school or teaching!

How do you - or could you - bring this idea of lifelong learning and perpetual development to life within your organization?
