i had a 1:1 with my boss (the CFO) where i presented a development plan for myself and my department, 18 months out.
he asked me what position i wanted to be in in 18 months, i said “director of customer support”
he said “i think it’s more like senior director of customer support, moving towards VP of customer support”
and i almost fucking choked. me? a VP at 30?
i was working to wrap my head around director / senior director.
i feel fucking blessed. i feel shocked, but sister reminds me i shouldn’t be shocked. this is who i’ve always been.
i’m shocked because i took risks. i quit a safe, stable job to be unemployed. and 5 years later, i could be a fucking VP…. that shit blows my mind a little.
but i should remember that every bet i’ve placed on myself, i’ve won. my path is unique but it’s mine and i was destined for great, unimaginable things. so i will keep my head high and remember who i am, what i’ve built and what i’m worth.
holy shit. a VP at 30… if im a VP at 30, where will i be at 40? at 50? shit, at 60 i better own a damn country 😂
but im blessed. thank you god and universe for blessing me. thank you for giving me the gifts of who i am, and presenting the opportunities for me to grow in the ways i’ve always wanted. lord, PLEASE, help me on this journey, i am so grateful to be here.
