Would I dare to make a change?

As the saying goes, "The only thing constant is change". I do think my boss is going to implement some changes in my job scope and allow me greater exposure. Which is good but I guess it's a win-win situation for her because I do more stuff and I can cover others when they are not around. Smart move.

Anyway, as part of the change, I accompanied 2 managers on an agency visit for a forum and I must say it was a great experience. I found that I lacked interaction skills and I was really nervous to see strangers in a conference room, strangers of all nationalities. I really lack PR skills, I need to communicate effectively and be friendly. Not an easy task, considering that I grown moodier and more introverted after I got my desk bound job.

Nonetheless, this represent new changes that I have to implement in myself or rather my life. I want to be less afraid of striking a conversation with my business associates. (I need more interaction, I need to smile more, be more inquisitive of other people, maybe I need to attend Toastmasters' Club, etc). I want to speak well, look and feel confident of myself. (I need better clothes; clothes that look like a million bucks w/o costing a million bucks, I need a good haircut and hair colour, I need better shoes, better makeup, better complexion).

Gosh I have so many things to do! Question is if I will do it. Haha.
