I’m constantly trying to improve my relationship with clients.

It’s definitely a challenge.

As an external auditor, people hate me before they even meet me.

I’m not used to that.

Throughout engagements I’ve attempted to show that I’m a sensitive, human being who is going to use keen judgment when testing their IT infrastructure controls.

I understand that humans make mistakes.

I will be sensitive to you, if you are likewise to me.

It’s a reciprocation, really.

I’ve recently been presented switching service lines into information protection and business resilience.

I’m not exactly sure what that entails — I would be lying if I said that I understood what it was all about.

But truthfully, I’m just as lost about it as I was with information risk management in the external audit.

My largest concern is being a noob all over again.

But if I don’t do it now, it’ll get much more difficult.

I might even get stuck in my ways and enjoy a level of comfort of knowing exactly how to do my job.

The only problem with this is that the line of work that I do right now is not rewarding.

I’m having a hard time understanding what kind of skills and resources I need in order to do something that I am passionate about; thus, a huge disconnect between the experience I’m obtaining in my day-to-day versus where I want to be, soon.

I think that this year will require me to really push myself in developing a career that I enjoy.

I’ve written down areas that I want to pursue, but I need more information in order to figure out what I need to do to get there.

I’ll be doing a lot of communicating with various people, I know.

I am passionate about what I want in life and I hope that it’ll help drive the change that ultimately, brings me fulfillment and inner peace with each day that I am involved.

I will not settle with a job that does not make me happy.

I will put in just enough time to figure out what I really want to do.
