Thanks James, this is so helpful. Started today as a CoS sitting in our Chief People Officers office and coming from operational background with really basic knowledge of what goes into the key people strategy for my organisation. It’s been an overwhelming day but mostly because I still haven’t figured out where I really fit and what I’m expected to do. I really want to add a lot of value to my organisation and there is very high expectations of what I can bring to the table so I’m feeling overwhelmed. This has helped ease my anxiety somewhat. Thank you
Hi Mpho - I want to wish you a congratulations in your new COS role. I hope you view this role in terms of both positively challenging you as well as confidence building measures as you go through this role--taking a new COS role for even experienced people can feel a bit overwhelming or challenging - so you are not alone in what you feel now. Keep learning and looking for areas you can find supporting classes to help aide you in your professional journey! Regards, James
