Chapter 9

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday passed in a flurry of activity. Plenty of phone calls for help to Robert, meetings with Mr. Johnson and some of his team, and me trying to stave off more than one panic attack.

Friday morning, I hung up from my daily phone call with Jim Johnson and leaned back in Peter’s chair with a smile upon my face.

The last four days had been the most trying of my adult life. I had been at the verge of giving up at least one hundred times, but each time, someone stepped in and pulled me back. Karen was my go to person for moral support, giving me a pep talk each morning before I left for Peter’s office and then cheering me up each night.

Robert was there every time I needed business advice, and several times, I would have made major mistakes if I hadn’t spoken to him first. Throughout the week I had come to see a different side to both Karen and Robert. They made a really nice couple and complemented each other perfectly. Without them, I would have been completely lost.

I stretched my arms above my head and then turned to look out the window. Somehow I had managed to get the project back on track. I still can’t fathom how I did it, but it worked and the client was very pleased. The project was now only a few weeks out from being completely finished.

Smiling, I recalled the new work orders Mr. Johnson had promised at the end of our conversation a few minutes ago. Then I sobered. I was due back at my own job Monday morning. How was I going to keep up the charade?

Nonetheless I was very proud of myself. Over the last four days, I had learned how to manage conflicts. I had been strong in the face of major problems, and made decisions when the need arose. I had definitely stepped outside my comfort zone and survived it. I even came out stronger on the other side.

One year ago, I would have laughed if someone had told me that I would command a project team of several persons, talk eye-to-eye with the manager of a mid-sized company, and successfully salvage a flailing project.

This situation had given me an opportunity to grow in ways that only a true test can. I had matured so much, that it would forever change the way I conducted business from here on out.

I had even taken the time to go to the hairdresser and get a more sophisticated haircut, rather than allowing my natural curls to run free. I now looked the part of a grown up; a woman in charge of her destiny and able to handle whatever life threw her way. I had started wearing business suits instead of jeans and t-shirts. Karen had delighted in going shopping with me Wednesday afternoon and helping me pick out a few new items.

Very satisfied with my performance I stood up and walked to the small bathroom off Peter’s office.
