My big events in year 2018
1. Resignation from SGS and became a freelancer
I did not write the yearly personal summary for year 2017. That was a year of 'change', and I think I lost myself a bit during that period. In around July 2017, Nick, my husband, decided to go for a new career which needed him to relocate in Shenzhen, a city 1500km away from Shanghai. He could at most come back home once every two weeks. John graduated from primary school, and his new middle school is far away from where we lived before, we had to change the apartment to live nearby his new school. John and I had a summer tourism in Wutai Mountain and Xi'an in August. After that we lived with my husband for a week in Shenzhen. John started with his new school right after we came back to Shanghai, he and I started a new daily life with only two of us.
Obviously, John did not go well with his new school. He cannot finish his homework in time, his exam score dropped seriously, and his started to lose temper frequently. So did I. After one semester, at the end of year 2017, it was going worse and worse.
So, in April year 2018, I made one the most difficult decision in my life, that I resigned from SGS, a company that I have worked for over 20 years. The decision was triggered by John's situation, however, I told myself and my family that I shall start a new career as a trainer. I was not brave enough to choose to give up all I had with SGS, but, with John, it might be some right time.
2. John was diagnosed with ADHD
I did nothing but stay with John the whole summer holiday. John‘s situation, for sure, couldn't be improved just for my staying with him. I took him to the psychologist, with a serious of survey and test, he was diagnosed with ADHD. This should be a challenge to either John or my family, but I treat it as a point of turn. Only when we know the cause, we then find a way out, although uneasy sometimes.
3. Started to learn coaching
This is an interesting subject and useful tool to help people get motivation deeply from self, and to reach a goal that he/she really wants. I have finished 3 modules which is an amazing self exploring journey. This has already helped me to deal with my own mood when I had the issues with John. Module 4 will soon be kicked off in year 2019, I hope I could help other people by using this wonderful coaching tool.
4. Got the first income as a trainer
I had started the cooperation with ciic for the sand table I am the CEO. The first chargeable session was given in Beijing for half day.
My wish list for year 2019
1. I can design a course of my own, in the field of leadership. At least trial run three times, hopefully someone could buy it.
2. Support John to improve in his studies, and more fundamentally to form a brave, responsible character.
3. Nick can be successful in his career.
4. Wish all my family members healthy.
