Yesterday was my sixth month anniversary at WE. I am still thinking that it is crazy that in the past 180 days my life has changed 180 degrees. But it has.

I have sat down to write about the last year of my life many times in the past few months and for whatever the reason I am not sure how to put it all down. I have lots of posts in my drafts folder, so perhaps after this post I will start to work backwards and share my journey in words.

But for today, I would like to focus on what it has been to spend my first six months at WE. One of the questions I was asked in all three of my job interviews was the following, “We see that you live in Thornhill and you know where our office is, how do you feel about the commute?” My answer was all three times, I won’t know until I start to do it.

It didn’t take me long to find my commuting groove (separate post for that) and off to the races in my new life at WE.

Corporate travel was not as hard to get used to as I thought it would be. Building complex travel itineraries with flights, car rentals and hotels for our staff to visit schools, corporate partners and our WE days across north America is just a piece of my new life.

The bigger and better part of my new life are the possibilities I am creating for myself.  There are opportunities around every corner to be involved in conversations with people I never would have come in contact with in my past life. To learn and grow and be part of something bigger than us in the world.

During corporate on board training there was a module calling “learning your WHY”. Using the core values and corporate pillars to understand why you are here and what you want to get from your experience. We were told to basically create your elevator speech and use it, whenever and wherever you can.

I have been doing that. Some may call it ‘drinking the kool aid’ but I call it finding myself. Realizing that all this time I was waiting for something like this opportunity to come into my life. It found me, at a time where I needed to be found. I have been happier in the last six months than I have been in years.

I can’t wait to see where the next six months take me with WE. There is a lot of great stuff coming that I will be able to share with you soon. My adventures will hopefully take me to learn more about WE Globally in the not so far off future. Time will tell.

I hope you will continue to follow me on my journey. It really means a lot to me.

Live your best life,

Lisa
