IgorOk's Day..
IGOR RYABCHUK
Dear reader,
If I start telling you my ordinary working day, it wouldn't sound really fun. But as they say: "life's measured not by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments which take your breath away". So, imagine yourself a day, which includes as much of those moment as
possible. I'll try to describe a fictional day, which includes a little more activities in it then usual, thus you'll get an impression of what means to be a regional director.
... you're on a warm sunny beach, hiding in shades of palms and; half-naked tanned beautiful girls surround you and call you to join them in ... questionable activities; you stand up from your hammock and right before you approach this small heaven... BEEP-BEEP-BEEP BEEP
BEEEP!!!!.... Damn I hate this alarm in my mobile phone!! Gotta get up,
too much to do to watch this dream till the end.
OK, what's first... While my laptop is downloading this huge pack of email that appeared during the night (who writes those so late???), get to the toilet, then bathroom, then kitchen to have a quick breakfast, then back to laptop. Qestions question questions on email - reply,
forward, ask for more info... nothing special about that, except for several trully pleasant warm wishes you get once in a while for helping someone solve a problem or two - 2 minutes of your attention and at least half an hour of great mood in return!
Now, pack the laptop, get a few materials and go to a meeting with your home LC. "Hey guys! What's up? Problems? Don't think so - you're good enough to face it easilly, but if you really need my help, that's what I would have done...". Discussions, arguing, deciding... sometimes it's
good, sometimes it's hard. But there are moments when one of them would approach you and just thank you, for help, for advices, for support...
and you feel happy - not because of this, but because of the fact that you can see the results of your work, you realize that it's not about being a smart-ass, it's all about helping others to be successfull. And it makes you feel proud of them and proud of yourself...
Next, get to the car and drive to another LC. Sure, it's great to have a car and to have an LC that's only 1.5 hour drive. It's only 2pm and I'm already in another city... "so great to see you again, guys. How's it going?". Similar talks, similar discussions, similar problems and
achievemnts. But other city and other people. And not a single of them is similar to each other. All different, but each so open, interesting and great.
Move on, next city... this time it's an initative group. New faces, new opportunities and new discoveries! I remember how intensively you started - you've been on several conferences, you lit up like crazy :)
and now you got what you wanted - an initiative group! It's great to have friends all around, who were able to help in your development. Without their help, I wouldn't have managed to get such a result. Now I know that I can count on those people at any time, and they can count on me. A reliable person is not something that is easy to find. I did. And it worth a lot!
The presentation is about to start in 15 minutes... Impressive preparation - the hall is great, the amount of people is just incredible - how did you do that, guys? Teach me! I could never acieve such a result! What a great list of companies you managed to invite! Great work! It seems to me that I'll have a good reason to be boasting of you later this week during MC days - when I'll be at my 2nd home, with my 2nd family - or in other words - my dream team!..
