There’s an old adage that the only certain things in life are death and taxes. I would argue that all of us are bound to experience one other thing: change.
We all know change is inevitable, but how we deal with it is what makes or breaks us as individuals and in our careers.
I speak from experience when I say this and to prove it to you, here is my story.
Back in 2008 I started studying Journalism at the Bellville campus of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
It was something I always wanted to do, but then somehow I found myself in the public relations profession.
This forced me to make one of the hardest decisions of my life…Do I do my BTech in journalism or public relations management?
Being the daredevil that I am, I decided to close my eyes and jump in right at the deep end of the PR pool.
I don’t regret my choice, not one bit, but I’m not going to lie and say it’s not been a huge adjustment for me.
But, I see this as a learning opportunity and I’m not one to shy away from new, exciting and unfamiliar territory. As much as the unknown scares me it, it’s also very intriguing at the same time.
I won’t beat around the bush here... Yes change is hard, but with the right mind-set, guidance and support system you can never go wrong. I guess my thirst for learning is what keeps me motivated at the end of the day.
