A breath of fresh air

As the new kid on the Planning block (and hopefully not the chopping block any time soon!), I have been at bbd for 2 months and I feel like I can breathe again after the absolute [redacted] show of a year that 2020 has been. The job is fast-paced, challenging, intense, and naturally stressful at times, but nowadays it’s especially a blessing to be able to say that – and boy am I grateful. My career and mental health have been on the ropes for most of the year but I feel like I’ve caught my second wind and am ready to come back swinging.

Metaphorically speaking.

My word of the year? Have 3:

1. Resilience.
2. Resilience.
3. All of the above.
