⚙️ A little Memo from CC

Let’s make it rain for a bit, shall we? I’m going to be very honest with you, kind reader, something I wish I had said more boldly before. I don’t like leading or being in charge. I never asked for it, nor do I chase after it with any interest. And like a good plot twist in a story, it’s followed by a "But."

But I end up in these places anyway. I constantly find myself in charge of something. Granted, I have to give it all to the people who saw something in me, making them believe I could handle such dreadful responsibility and curse me with a weight I couldn’t even understand, let alone carry.
But… I always find myself baffled and astonished at the end of such journeys by how they could foresee the outcome I would bring. When I look back at the things I’ve done, the accomplishments and success stories; there lies a majority of my consciousness, claiming it was a dream. Even through the layers, the ups and downs, the smiles and frowns, the fights and doubts, and the unprecedented and unthinkable, it all comes to an end, and I look back to say… But how?
That’s someone’s trust. Someone’s belief in you. Someone else’s surrender of possible outcomes, except Hope & Faith, that maybe, just maybe, you could make something of the future and turn it into a better past. You see, for me, it was never about climbing the corporate ladder. I learned a long time ago that each role was daunting and stressful, slowly pushing you into an oblivion of your own doubts and beliefs. The trembles of doing something right, the uncertainty and questions kept to yourself but hidden under a smile and assurance. But… you look back. Whether it’s what you’ve done right or good memories, perspective becomes the key to understanding your questions. Looking back and seeing the person you were before you began; and how you’ve grown and changed; brings the clarity of how much potential is in you. To lead yourself and others. To learn and to teach. To receive and to give away. Because leadership was never about handling others, but about setting a better path than the one you’ve been on yourself; growing, learning, and sharing from the legacy of your own past, a much easier way of saying "being the person who calls for boring meetings."

Till next time, Yours in Service 🪄
- CC Natnael
