Alan Watts once said, 'The only way to make sense of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.' Today's story echoes this sentiment.
Akshdeep Kaur, a postgraduate in HRM, started as an HR in our Organization in 2015 and was later promoted to the position of Business Development Manager. She is celebrating her 9th anniversary in January and has been an integral part of our team.
But what makes someone dedicate their nine years to an organization? Especially if it’s the first job of your life. Well, Let's delve into the remarkable journey of this young and passionate trailblazer.
Her parents had always dreamed of her finding a stable job, but due to certain limitations, her options were restricted. She couldn't venture far from her hometown in search of work, but little did she know that this limitation would turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Akshdeep's story began almost nine years ago when she joined our humble startup. At that time, she was a single girl with big dreams and even bigger aspirations. Her parents believed that she was better suited for a career in teaching, but Akshdeep had other plans. She had recently completed her MBA in Human Resource Management as a Major and Marketing as a Minor, and her heart was set on pursuing her own path.
After completing her MBA, fresh out of college, Akshdeep initially struggled to find her place in the world. However, after six months of working at our company, she realized she was on the right path. The confidence she gained during her journey allowed her to be herself and face the world with her head held high.
In our company, she started as an HR professional. However, our directors recognized her potential and soon promoted her to the role of Business Development Manager. She had the qualities and skills required for this position, and her dedication to her work was unmatched. And today she holds the senior position in our sales team.
Akshdeep's typical day at the office is a whirlwind of managing client communications, juggling deadlines, and overseeing reporting. Her direct line of communication is with our respected director, Shikha Kumar. The demands of her job are often challenging, but Akshdeep handles them with a cool and collected mindset. Her approach to problem-solving is rooted in self-assessment, but she never hesitates to seek insights from her colleagues when confronted with significant challenges.
Being a woman in a conservative family, she was the only one in her household to embark on this journey of independence and professional success. Her family had initially wanted her to pursue a career as a teacher, but she had a dream of becoming an air hostess. She took her chance and even passed the exam with flying colors, earning herself a scholarship. However, financial constraints led her to choose a different path.
As Akshdeep's career flourished, she discovered that her true happiness lay in her family's pride and happiness for her achievements. Her dedication was rewarded with a new iPhone during our Diwali Celebration, but the real joy came from her family witnessing her accomplishments.
As an Assistant Business Development Manager, Akshdeep became proficient and an excellent mentor to her team members. She embraced her role gracefully, and her humorous response to how her teammates helped her at work was, "By listening to me."
Married and with responsibilities at home, Akshdeep found the perfect work-life balance by working near her residence. Through her years of handling challenges, adapting with her team members, and weathering the ups and downs, she matured and outgrew the innocent phase she had when she first joined us.
Akshdeep's long-standing tenure of 9 years at our company is a testament to her unwavering dedication. It also reflected the strength of the work culture and the significant impact that relationships with colleagues can have on one's professional experience.
In the end, Akshdeep's journey is an attestation of her courage in embracing change and the challenges of life. It highlights the transformative power of determination, dedication, and a willingness to join the ever-changing rhythm of life and career. Akshdeep Kaur plunged into change, moved with it, joined the dance, and found her own unique and successful path.
