My new toy!

Disclaimer: I still need training on how to manage it! :P
One year of hard work deserves a good machine!.. and it is mine! :) Yeah!

dissapointments and other issues...

Recently, I received a really interesting "feedback" of a LC member. He was extremely pissed with me because I didn't response his greeting on facebook chat.

He argued that I didn't response to him because I consider myself better than other members in the organization, just because I joined the international team. Besides, he also said I should not forget that due to the work of LC members are doing, is because I am in this position. The rude message finished recommend me that ignoring them is the worst way to thank all of these people...

Well.. being honest, after receiving this message I got shocked!.. this is the first time I receive a message like this. I never ever I have considered myself better than anyone. More privileged with life yes, but never in a wrong way. Also, I keep in my mind (and heart) all the people have impacted to me deeply, with their example, experience and consistency.

I answered him inmmediately and, without interest of starting a debate of my personal life (also because it happened at 1am), I appreciated his feedback and get some reflections about this incident.

• My life is exposed now more than a couple of years before.
• This exposure demands people (and more people than before) waiting from me the same time that I used offer to them.
• How do I ask them for privacy avoiding misunderstandings? Can I forget answer an e-mail, not answer a chat invitation, not give an advice...etc.. with no risk people mix this with my job role? Should I start to classify my contacts, should I contact only my friends, should be more polite with everyone all the time?
• Are more people thinking the same about me?
  

Any way, people who really know me are people than never would judge me, before know what is happening. This is the kind of feedback that really matters to me... :)

Transition Time

AI Transition is going on much better than I expected.

I never get tired of realize how amazing the organization is. I am still impressed with the professionalism, and the high quality we do the things, even at the higher level. Yes, as always, there are still many things to adjust in the future, but we are as the level of the best organizations in the world. I am sure. :)

...2 months of completely knowledge transfer
....more than 40 people gathered in one place
...more than 15 nationalities
...data, numbers, statistics, issues in 60 years of existence
...hundreds of brainstormings, discussiones, active knowledge sharing...
...incredible people all around. Many histories, traditions, backgrounds, personalities all together.

A BIG responsibility ahead!
One year of making it happen!

I am enjoying a lot these intense days of transition and induction to my role as AI member. I know that probably never ever I will have the chance to live such as great experience again.
