How it Became

Hi! Since this is my first post, I guess I should introduce my reason for creating this blog. About a month and a half ago, a Director at my company approached me and asked if I would be interested in being the manager on a project we were about to launch. The project was primarily based on Enterprise Risk Management, a product offering I'd been working on since February. I liked the work and wanted to get deeper experience and a more thorough knowledge base of the product. Natrually I was intrigued. He then says that the project is in Dubai, and I would have to commit to being with the project for at the very minimum 12 months.

As I got off the phone and walked into Sushi Zushi with my friend, Emily, neither of us could come up with a reason why I SHOULDN'T go. We are both pretty logical people and thought about it with emotion removed. There has been alot going on in my life over the last three months personally and professionally (more the come on that later) and it just felt like it was the right time to do something this big.

And so, after consulting with family, my mentor and Leadership at my company - indeed, there was no reason for me to say no. I accepted!!

In a nutshell, that's how this opportunity came about. And so it begins.
