Round 2
My biggest challenge in life has always been to be content. During school days, despite being a state level badminton player with just 2 years of sporting experience, I was not able to digest my loss against a player with 8 years of experience. I always found a way to under value myself. In college I converted the Title Sponsor for my college festival; I felt I could have roped in some other sponsors as well.
During my role as an Associate, at Performics.Convonix, the COO of parent company Matt Miiller, once sent across a mail requesting a specific task. Given the position, my team accepted the task knowingly that the task was never heard of before. Given my reputation as a crisis expert, my manager called me in and handed me over the task which was due in 48 hours. I straight away went to my Director seeking her expertise as the task was new to everybody. Unfortunately, even my Director did not know where to look for the solution.
Having nowhere to seek assistance I knew I was all by myself. I contacted the experts of various companies from where the data was being extracted. They were not of my help given the time zone difference amidst a time sensitive situation. The feeling was analogous with a bomb defuser trying to prevent the bomb from detonating. 4 hours before the deadline, I completed the task and trained the entire team on it. Eventually, I was given a LOA by the director. This was the satisfaction I was seeking all my life.
