Are you making colic career? 4 tips to the downturn of the professional activity

When I was 9 months pregnant I would fantasize about life as a new MOM.  I sat in the empty nursery and consider everything in it.  I rock in the glider, the smell of baby lotion and feel the soft texture of baby mattresses.  I would look at the closet full of baby clothes.  I flip through "Good Night Moon" and imagine reading frog lamp that compliments the theme of the nursery.  After 12 hours of work, this dream came to an abrupt stop.  I gave birth to the most beautiful baby suffers from colic in the history of the world.  People laugh, but I'm serious when I say that I have blocked most of the first three months of his life.  If you have had a baby suffers from colic, you understand.  They do not cry, they scream.  They cry all the time.  She would scream and I was crying.  This beautiful nursery has never been used because I couldn't put her down.  I would sit in the pediatrician's Office, crying.  He me, would ensure "you will get through this."  All I could think about was my pediatrician was a liar, and that I was doing something wrong.  Why I don't know how to fix this?  Why can't I make things better?

"What have I got myself into?

"I was not prepared for this!

"I don't know what I'm doing!"

These are all thoughts that run through the mind of new parents.  New parents read all the books available.  You read reviews of products for baby, consult doctors and finally start listening to the advice of your parents.  But what you're learning, it's that you don't have to know everything to be a good parent.  It is impossible to know all this.

It is a challenge for many employees, especially if they you experience slow activity in their career.  This slowing activity might involve switching companies, affected by a unexpected dismissal, or even something that should be positive as accept a promotion.  There is a desire, or pressure to be omniscient.  You think that if you knew all this, you would have been totally prepared and might have succeeded (or controlled) which has come to you.  But of course, this is impossible.  So, how do you manage through these difficult, colic, periods in your career?

Marilyn,

I really liked this post, you always write with such an honest refreshing approach, based on the reality - you are a master storyteller.

I can relate to your story - however, replace colic with reflux, a diagnosis for my daughter for 3 days after birth. She was on medication for nine months, not that it mattered if correction processes have not been followed to the letter. The first 3 months? No, no time nursery in the beautiful garden theme that I created - I mainly held her sleeping in an old armchair because the angle was good to prevent reflux. The old adage, ' the baby cries only when they are tired, hungry or wet? This rule applies in our House - reflux created more than an effect of "Mavericks" and no one or thing was sure of the destruction, he left in his wake. People would look at me like "really, you did something wrong because I've never heard of a baby diagnosed with reflux... and so on... ». And with a son of 2 1/2 year, determined to muddy and bloody himself every chance he got - 2 small Yorkies (my 4 paws, fur babies) claiming to be Dobermans chances that they had - it seemed to be a circus without end to our House. At this time, my husband traveled all the time, so I was the master of the ring, so to speak.

We all face many "loose cannons" in our professional lives and mine this time is no exception - our CMO (my manager) recently announced that he left the company. We were in the middle of a realignment org marketing, but also a transformation of my role. While I had no control over his announcement, I control the effect with regard to its impact on my team, me and our marketing org - in certain limits, of course. Very similar to treat reflux, he sometimes felt as if we will walk with a blindfold on, confident enough in our abilities to move around the room without tripping, but without the clarity of vision, speed and agility that would appreciate us without it.

Of course, little girl finally became too big for his reflux, and she is a beautiful, if a little early, 8-course-on-16 years, now. I know that my team, our marketing org and I will eventually reach a point where we do not want to cry and throw up based on what we have "ingested" so - until there, I took out my ring master top hat and working again the big top.

Best,

Kristin
