Every year, my New Year’s Resolution discloses my hopes and dreams of what I want to happen in the next 365 days – along with my plan for the future year ahead. But truth be told, and not in an egotistical way because I am basing this on recent comments I have received from both my yearly review and comments from my superiors – I am, according to them, doing a great job – and have an amazing future awaiting me…

…so therefore – my New Year’s Resolution for 2010 is to continue doing the great job I have been doing (according to my superiors) – and await the amazing future there will be.

Due to the fact that my Modus Operandi has always been to work with people in person rather than through e-mails or phone calls, I have developed very positive relationships with very high level people in my organization – something my company lead told me yesterday that she admires (which I am honored by). After which I was told by her that I am liked by most of our high level Government leads. That fact, coupled with my positive review and generous raise – has given me the feeling that I have a very positive future with my company – and some serious job security…

…which has already made 2010 – eight days into it – a great year already.

Since I cannot disclose almost anything that I do, I will only say that thanks to my hard work and relationship building – my value and assignments have been elevated dramatically over the last few months – and I have been relied upon much more as of late by very high level Government leads than in the last two years that I have been in my current position. This is something I am very proud of because it “puts me out there” and I am seen as a more important asset. Most of the tasks I have done I have volunteered for – because I knew that I can get them done – and, at the same time, show my potential to my Government leads. I did not do these things for recognition – but rather to show that I would help them in any way I can and always will.

So as we “deep dive” into 2010, I am going to continue to be the best employee to my company – and the most loyal contractor to the Government that I can be. The reason for this is simple – because if this is the level of success I am achieving now…

…I can’t wait for this time next year to see where I am then.

Thank you to my company for your confidence in me – and thank you to my Government leads for your faith in me…

…I promise I will not let you down.
