This weekend left me exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally. We had a total of 3 weddings this weekend, 2 of them on Saturday, 1 of which I was responsible for.
The simultaneous weddings on Saturday were planned both by Emily, but I pretty much ran the Garcia wedding myself. Emily trusts me enough with a wedding and I am flattered by it; however, I need to learn to use my existing backbone. This was blatantly obvious when one of the guests at the wedding said I need to be more authoritative. This is easier said than done, byno means do I let people push me around. I am not a timid individual by all means, however, it seems though my confidence leaves me in the professional world thus far.
"Throw me in the river and I will in all hell try to swim". Sometimes you just need a little push or else you would not even try. I am glad that Emily challenges me in a variety of ways and more importantly, I am glad Emily trusts me. The ball is in my court now; I need to show my true colors.

I'm glad that your supervisor has enough confidence in you to give you the entire responsibility of a wedding. Its good experience especially since you realized that you have a few things to work on in your professional life.
ReplyDeleteI think your sternness and authoritativeness (is that a word?) will continue improve as you become more experienced and confident in your job. Those are things most of us have to grow into and it sounds like you are in a great environment for learning and growing so it should come quickly for you!
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of cool that a guest would be that up front with you and it helps you to notice things that you need to work on in the professional world. You will continue to learn that there are groups/people that you need to be more authoritative with compared to others. Great job handling all of it though to where the weddings still happened and you got through the weekend despite how draining it was.
