Onward!

Welcome to the sparks of joy newsletter. I hope this short Friday email can be encouraging to you, so you can be encouraging to those around you.

Work Chaos

Monday morning I logged into work in my office (my garage) to find out a coworker quit over the weekend. Not ideal as this was someone who I worked closely with, with no notice or knowledge transfer plan - bummer. A few hours later I then was made aware I was taking ownership of her responsibilities and team (2 people).

I used our intro kickoff as a time to encourage them vs let them know how chaotic it all was. I had a choice to continue to stoke fire and rumors, or acknowledge the past and move forward with the future. I think they enjoyed my positive spin and I committed to continuing to encourage them through a transition.

I guess life really is all about choices and how you respond to situations. Stay positive and move forward - onward!
