Today I’m going to do surf with a new friend I made in the office\u00a0but what excites me the most these days is my actual work in the office. I never thought this could happen to me, but at last I understand why there are people in this world that get addicted to their work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s because at some point, when the parameters \u2018learning new skills\u2019 \u2018challenge\u2019 \u2018flow state\u2019 and \u2018having the correct people around you\u2019 coincide at the same time \u2013 space coordinates, it\u2019s when magic happens.<\/p>\n

I always had in mind to open my own tiny firm somewhere lost in the mountains, working for a small village where everyone knows everyone. I don\u2019t know if this will ever happen, and honestly I don\u2019t care too much, but it gives me a lot of life direction! And maybe the foremost skill this dreamed self has to have is: to coordinate! \"\"<\/p>\n

Coordination is the process by a number of different teams collaborating, share information supporting each other discipline with the common goal of accomplishing the project.<\/p>\n

This is mainly done (at least in the office I am in) by biweekly online meetings: one week with the consultants, the next with the client, although in the consultants\u2019 meetings there is always someone\u00a0from the client\u2019s group representing their team.<\/p>\n

Meetings themselves usually take one hour but preparing for them is way longer and harder. This task consists of having everything going on under one\u2019s sight, being able to understand the processes regarding all the disciplines. This is mainly done reading the previous meeting minutes from the top to the bottom and contrasting them with the consultants\u2019 plans.<\/p>\n

After the meeting the goal is to make sure everyone is on the same page, which takes a lot of time and thinking too!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going now for my surf class hahah talk to you soon, let\u2019s keep in touch! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
