3 My Future: My Goals after LD0
I think that when looking at the next year of my life, because I am going to be starting a 12 month internship in Toronto, it is hard to give myself specific leadership goals since this will be a new environment and new experience for me. I think that in general, in new opportunities and environments I tend to take a while to come out of my shell and be more outgoing and myself. With this in mind, my goal moving forward into this new year is to not let that stop me from pursuing opportunities within my new role that interest me. I want to give myself grace and know that it is ok to not be completely comfortable as soon as possible within a new environment and experience, but I want to make sure that my adjustment period isn’t diminishing what I can get out of the role and opportunity.
PROFESSIONAL Goal for Next Year:
Sign up for at least one initiative at work (after work program, employee resource group, etc.) within the first 3 months of my placement as a way of putting myself out there early in the term and meeting more people.
PERSONAL Goal for the Next Year:
Get out an explore Toronto at least once every two weeks (meet up with friends, go for dinner at a new place, etc.) to ensure that I am making the most of being in the city when I am working in person.
