The Chance I am Taking to Further My Career

Two years ago, Sr. Zen called me and invited me to her office. I was nervous because it is not everyday that the president calls for her employees. I went anyway, thinking that she had important things to discuss regarding the department. At that time, my immediate boss was not around because she was attending a seminar out of town so I figured that she just needed to convey a message to the others in the department through me. But to my surprise, it was not only an ordinary meeting. I was offered a supervisory position. My first reaction was to resist it. I told her I did not want it because I felt that I was not yet ready for it. She listened to me as I enumerated the reasons why I should not be given such responsibility. But Sr. Zen insisted. She told me that with the right leadership coaching, I will make a good leader one day. The meeting didn't end until I accepted the challenge. Sr. Zen was very happy when I did and once again, she promised that she'll be around anytime I'll need her.
