You are GREAT, wherever you go!

Last Wednesday, I was watching PBA (of course together with Sweets).  I saw that Paul Lee was playing and I can't help but say that he is indeed one of the best players out there.  With that I said:

KL: Ang galing talaga ni Paul Lee noh!

Noel: Uu

KL: San nga siyang team dati?

Noel: Rain or Shine

KL: Ah tapos now STAR na siya

Noel: Continued to drive..

Then I said:

KL: Kahit san ka man naroon, kung magaling ka, magaling ka! Noh!!

Sweets continued to drive and I can't decipher whether I am making any sense to him or he does not want to hear more about what I was trying to say!

To him, it was plain and simple a Basketball game -- and he is not even STAR nor Rain or Shine!  You should know by now that we are solid San Miguel Beermen.

My point is: We all have our starting point -- our basic education.

Then we are slowly molded to greatness by the organizations where we are.

Now, if we really have the capability and willingness to learn, deliver and perform at our best then we can be an expert in whatever it is that we are doing.  No matter where we are!

This is how I connected Paul Lee to what I am feeling right now.

Recently, Kat moved on to a new organization, I felt bad because I will miss how she handled me and my team and how grateful I am for the leadership and wisdom.  Kat is a great lead and I know she can share more to us -- had she stayed.  When Kat left, does it mean that she will no longer be a great lead and employee? Big answer is NO!  Because Kat is a great lead and employee with good work ethics and so I KNOW what wherever she may be -- in Accenture (much better) or in another organization -- she will definitely do well!

Same thing with my new lead, Mai.  She is a tenured lead and have been with Accenture for the longest time -- this is her new team but because I believe that she is a great employee, mentor, lead and colleague, even if this is a new team for her -- she will definitely do what she does BEST, which is to continue to LEARN (she is from Learning by the way :p), to DELIVER and to PERFORM!

To these two ladies! You both ROCK!

Do not be afraid to soar HIGH because you have a TEAM to support you all the way!
