My recent NHS post is completely true, but part of me wanted to moan about the challenges I am facing. I usually wait to write about struggles until I have had time to digest it and see the bigger picture. But I thought it might be useful to admit in this very public space that I do in fact struggle with things. So I am going to give it a try.
It has been helpful to reflect back on how I initially saw going full time in the technology service post as a negative, and it turned out to be the most professionally productive I have ever been.
It is completely unfair to compare my current job, which I have only had for a few months, to the longest job I ever had. A more fair comparison is the current job to when I was just a few months into the old job. But that memory of the start of that job is cloudy. Much clearer is my memory of working at my peak performance at the end.
I am writing this post to remind myself that I need to be brave, and I need to be patient. It took years to get my footing in the old job, and it all happened very gradually. But even when reflecting, I cannot help missing the most amazing team that anyone could hope to work in. It was so much easier to become a better version of myself when I was surrounded by an inspiring team whose members were constantly nurturing each other's potential. I wish I had the strength be the kind of person I was with them, now.
