Coming from a small town named Dharwad in Karnataka, growing up I interacted with few people all my life. My interactions were limited and my social circle was a small one. I didn’t know how to initiate a conversation or have idea about the basic know hows of it. Being a middle child I craved for attention, and grabbed on any little attention I got. I didn’t prefer working with people or sharing my responsibilities.
Life comes up with unexpected opportunities and I got one when I joined my first job. During my work experience in Reliance Jio, my basic roles were handling Product engineering, Project management, Test Engineering, Vendor management as such, which required constant interaction with vendors and other stakeholders. I saw this as an opportunity to work on my weaknesses. In this duration, I took up and handled multiple projects, managed various teams (domestic and international).
I learnt how to overcome situations of conflicting interests and opinions. The importance of maintaining cordial relations, dealing with stress when conflict arises were new learnings. I also learnt the importance of team work and the better results achieved with team effort.
It has changed me as a person from being a reserved personality to being more open to work with people. It has made me a good listener and a learner. I have become more understanding of situations and people. My social circles have improved and I have amicable relations with ones I have difference of opinions.
Currently I’m studying Management and I hope it will help me be a better manager, administrator and businesswoman one day while enhancing my personality
