Maybe I should dedicate my first blog in my new role to confirming that Aviva’s broker strategy is unchanged. But I won’t because you’ll hear that lots and lots from Mark and David in the next few weeks and months.
Maybe I should dedicate my first blog in my new role to explaining the new structure, but that would be far too internally focussed, and there’s a danger you’d all lose the will to live.
Maybe I should dedicate my first blog to extolling the virtues of our new CEO, but you’ll see lots of him for yourselves over the coming months.
Maybe I should just stop for a minute and reflect….
If I had a fiver for every time I’ve been asked about my job in the last few weeks I’d be a long way to joining George and John and putting my feet up for good.
On one particular day I got asked the question 47 times, mostly by brokers, and always with good wishes.
So now it’s all out in the open, the fact that you’re stuck with me confirmed, I’ve been reflecting on how I feel.
Last week I didn’t have a minute to do that. I didn’t stop to think about the milestone of joining the Exec and what it means, I didn’t really stop to enjoy or celebrate the moment.
So on the advice of John, David and Igal, I did take a bit of time over the weekend to savour the many emails and texts of congratulations. I did stop to enjoy the flowers from my hubby and my mum and family. I did stop to reflect on why I don’t feel more different.
And what I decided is that the overwhelming feeling I have is that I’ve come home. My working life is all about relationships, my dream job is one that’s all about relationships, the thing I value most is the relationships I’ve built with brokers and partners over the years.
My heart and soul is in the broker business….. and they do say home is where the heart is.
