What am I taking with me from 2020?
2020 was all about transformation and resilience for me. I perceive change as an opportunity, and I was astonished at how well I performed even with remote work. I definitely want to find a balance between the office and work from home in the future.
What am I consciously leaving behind?
I will actively distance myself from toxicity not only in the context of work but also privately. Toxic behaviors and pointless discussions waste way too much of my energy.
What have I learned about myself and my environment?
I’ve learned that I’m able to work without the controlling environment of an office. However, I’ve also learned how valuable those casual, small human interactions are to build relationships in a team. And it’s tough for me to be creative in a video call.
What am I proud of?
I’m proud of the quick adaption to the ‘new normal’. (By the way, I hate that empty shell of a term.)
What am I grateful for?
Everybody who walked a part of 2020 with me in good faith, everybody who shared some insights with me, and everybody who supported me.
