Zoals verwacht loopt alles anders
/The goal of this blog was to post more things that interest me (hello 9 month hiatus đź‘‹), improve my thinking process and write in English.
But the title is just too good in Dutch to leave it out. In English it would translate into something like:
As expected, everything turns out different
Plan 2016
At the end of 2016 I had a pretty good idea of what 2017 would have in store for me: the biggest personal project being our wedding (it was beyond awesome!). Work related I had a rebuild project of one of Elision’s oldest clients and had a pretty good idea of where I would like to go with my career within the company.
I didn’t have any other big goals in mind and would see where 2017 would take me. So far, 2017 is a year full of great surprises!
On a personal level
These things “just happened”:
- joining a working group of ’t hART which is researching (symptoms of) burn-out within Generation Z (7-25 year olds now).
- quit spinning/indoor cycling and replace it with crossfit. Yes, it’s as addicting as people say it is.
- next to my weekly futsal game, I also joined a team that plays “cafévoetbal” on Sunday AM.
Career wise
I’m not entirely sure what’s different this year, but I guess I’m saying “yes” to even more stuff than I used to. This is creating awesome new opportunities.
A bit unexpected, I got in touch with the wonderful people at madewithlove. After talking and meeting with Andreas and his colleagues, it became clear that I shouldn’t let this opportunity slip. As of 16 August, I will join their team as a Product Manager! I’m super excited about this!
2017, I love you already, let’s make the rest of this year awesome as well!
