Right now I'm going through an interesting and challenging period - changing my job - but so far I'm doing very well.
Before I start my new job in January, I'll take a few weeks off to go away, relax and get ready for the next step in my career.
I will go to London and then will spend a week in Paris during the Christmas season and come back to Vilnius to take up new challenges. I'm setting up my own business in the marketing communications (MarCom) field. It's refreshing, tempting and very rewarding, and I look forward to this change immensely!..
"The more that you wait, the more time you waste"... (Madonna)
But today I sat down to write about other things. About the things that really matter in life: about being a Leader/Manager and about Will/Eagerness.
Over these last weeks I realised two simple - but key - things:
in professional life, everything depends on your manager and your will! As simple as that. But simplicity doesn't mean that it's unsophisticated/primitive. It's essential. It's overwhelming.
Many centuries ago, one clever man (Seneca? Aristotle?.. Ana, pls don't laugh at me!:) once said that everything depends on your eagerness and your supervisor. And I realised this simple truth myself - it's 100% true! And now I can see that I arrived at this conclusion myself (the joy of revelation!:) and I'm therefore absolutely sure about my decision regarding the change in my professional life. Good for me. :)
I will let you know the details of my career change in the coming months when everything is set, up and running. And I will do my best to be a good Leader/Manager because I know that it all depends on my wish and will how my business will develop and how my employees will feel about working for me. We will see.
And I hope to share my successes (and failures:) on this blog. Come back soon, read my postings and add your comments!

Wow! This is news, indeed!
Well, probably after 7 years working in the International company the only thing you would be interested to do in your life is set up your own business.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Also, about this blogging disease. I've got 2 close friends who are blogging daily. They both travel a lot, so it's a nice way to catch up with them and see how they are doing elswhere. One of them said 'why I don't I start blogging...' Good question 'why not?' But who would find time for that?
Giedriau, it's great that you've started and also good luck in your carrier!

didziuojames. kaip sako mano 90mete bobute - vaikeliai, kol galit darykit, neatideliokit! Dziaugiuosi, kad vis daugiau draugu pasisokeja ir skrenda - gero skrydzio! :))))
Dear Colleague of mine,
Notwithstanding the sad fact that you are leaving me, my smoking habits, my lunch breaks and the very good feeling of having an ally in that international firm, a friend, I wish you good luck officially (as I am a nice person after all:-)
I will miss you badly. And they will, too.
