Moments of pride
Well another week has rolled by and I am determined to establish a weekly post to our blog – no matter how tied up in other activities we are.
Over the weekend my 5yr old son rode his bike on two wheels for the first time. That is an achievement that made me very proud. But what added to the moment was when he realised that all that had been stopping him getting on this bike sooner was his self doubt (those are obviously my words not his). You see I have been nagging him for a while now to ‘let’s take the trainer wheels off your bike’. His answers varied from, ‘no, some other time, I don’t feel like it and I’m too tired’. On Saturday I decided now was the moment and this time I didn’t give him a choice. So imagine this, he got on – with a lot of hesitation saying ‘I’m going to fall off, please don’t let go’, with me saying ‘no you won’t I’m right here’. To cut this into a short story, he got on, started peddling and off he went with me running beside him. Finally I heard the words “I’m riding my bike”!
So where’s this going? Well earlier this week we received some results from an independent test on Australia’s top 33 Consulting Firms and my moment of pride was seeing Consulting WorX ranked 6th out of 33. 6th may not be first, but when I look on the list at who we were ranked ahead of and knowing that we still have yet to reach our one year anniversary in business I was very proud. This past year has seen some tremendous moments of pride and success starting off with first consultant registering, first business client, first project awarded and first partnership established. The list could go on, but all of these are moments of pride that have accumulated into seeing a wonderful year.
Last week I apologised for our lack of absence and outlined how our business has been developing. And it continues to go from strength to strength and we are looking to finish off this financial year in a very strong position.
So tell us, what is your recent moment of pride? We would love to hear it and share it amongst our community.
Until next week
Patrina & Michelle
