What's Happening
So, I have only announced this information to a few people, but figured it is time to share with everyone. I completed my one-year anniversary on July 15 with New York Life, and then found out a few weeks ago that I am being moved into a pilot program to handle calls from our agents only. This program is going to require a higher level of service and advanced skill set. Most of the people chosen for this team have been with the company for several years as opposed to a few of us who are relatively new. After working my ass off for the past year to improve myself and learn as much about the business as I could in that time frame, I am feeling a great deal of validation for all the hard work I put in.
Training started last week and will continue for me after I get back from vacation, but knowing I am working for a company that actually recognized my abilities and put me into a position to better use them frankly tickles me pink. I loved my co-workers at my last company, but I can not imagine now why I stayed there as long as I did. I attended a training session today where the first thing we talked about was being happy. Dr Martin Seligman's three types of happiness 1) pleasure and gratification, 2) embodiment of strengths and virtues and 3) meaning and purpose, were discussed. I can honestly say that the work that I do now certainly satisfies these needs.
