Take a step back, breathe and reflect on why you took this position in the first place.

As Leaders, Managers or Supervisors there are days when you just don’t want to deal with it anymore?
Well, initially I took the position for personal betterment, to aid me in getting where I see myself in the future. However, as I reflect on how I classify accomplishments in this position, I realized that it has nothing to do with ME. It is about helping the people I serve, as well as, the organization I work for. Although, the wins may seem small or insignificant at times, it makes all the difference to the one person I made smile or taught something new too. It is those moments that count and carry me through when it just seems like I just don’t want to do it anymore. Whether small or big, it is still a win!
I would say Other. I wanted to engage in a more challenging position and learn a new set of skills. I also wanted to increase my interaction with the public (on a one-on-one basis) to better my communication skills. Thank you for the question.
