Since selling the UK house in February, 2010 I've been living in what feels like whirlpool. Over the next few weeks I'll expand on what has happened - positive and negative; but the real unexpected surprise was an award that was delivered just before I left the UK.
Cambridge Who's Who has
'recognised me as the 2010 Professional of the Year
representing the Relocation & Expat Coaching Industry'.
I arrived at the post office to collect the post on the day before I left the UK and collected this box. Although it said 'glass' and 'fragile', I hadn't got the time to open it - so found a safe place for it in the car and drove off.
After a week of travelling through Europe and across the high seas to Madeira, I drove off the ferry and onto the island on Monday evening. I arrived in the office on Tuesday morning and opened the box - imagine my surprise.
Recognition is always a fabulous thing, but often with recognition the recipient doesn't acknowledge it. We always say thank you, put it away, and move on. In the world of coaching as a coach we always try to work with our clients to ensure that they recognise their own achievements and as part of this, the awards that they might have received. So I decided, rather than putting this award back in it's box (as I've done in the past) I would hang it on the office wall ... !
What achievements have you not recognised? What awards have you received and put back in the box? Take a moment out and write them down ... once you've done that what can you do to recognise your own achievements?
