So, I have decided to write a few lines everyday from now, let's see how it goes.
I had a very important meeting today for which I had been preparing from last week and was quite nervous about it as there were few things I was uncertain about.
I will be honest, thought about skipping that meeting and asking my manager to drive it did cross my mind. I even started thinking about a few excuses to skip it, but then, I thought why not put this effort into finding out the the facts that I am not clear about.
So, I slacked few team members, got some information, got onto a couple of calls with few of them and got more clarity. Finally created a document, got it reviewed from a couple of folks, informed my manager to join the call in case I need help and there I was, more than prepared to drive the call.
I wouldn't say it was the best meeting I have had, but it certainly prepared me for the best one that I will have soon.
To summarize, the key takeaway for me was, instead of putting the efforts in thinking of ways to escape the situation, it's best to put the efforts in preparing for the situation and trusting yourself.
Thanks for reading.
