Incredibly blessed to have Abby on our team! ✨
Does anyone else feel like they blinked, and April was over? To say a lot has happened in the last month+ would be a bit of an understatement. At the end of March, I made the decision to leave my position at Cambria to pursue what I thought would be a whole new career, but as fate would have it that ended up not being the case. But, before I go any further, I would be remiss not to mention the incredible relationships I have built during my time with Cambria. The mentorship I received, and the relationships built will continue to shape me for years to come, and I am grateful for that. 🖤 💛 As I said, I thought I was about to journey into a new career and industry, but as fate would have it that is not what happened. An opportunity arose, and while the thought of turning down an already accepted position gave me a great deal of anxiety, I knew I needed to explore this potential opportunity. Throughout the interview I felt my confidence grow, my anxiety subside, and a peace wash over me. I have never felt more comfortable, or more able to be myself, than I felt sitting in that conference room. I knew this was the company, position, and career path that God was leading me to. During the interview I was asked how I handle stress and what I do to work through it. I expressed that I am really good at treading water, but then gave pause and said, “honestly, I pray. I take a moment to pray and remember that I can only control what I can control and the rest? I have to let go and let God.” That was the moment I knew that I was sitting in the place with the best fit for me, where I can be the most honest version of myself. Reaching out to the company I intended to start with the very next week was a bit nerve wracking, as I am not one who likes to let people down. However, I was met with incredible grace and understanding of my desire to stay within my industry and accept this new opportunity that better fit me as an individual. I am grateful for the kindness, understanding, and support that was offered. Fast forward to today, and I have officially been the Business Development Representative at KBM | Kitchen, Baths, and More for just over a month now. With this new role I am looking forward to growing our network of contractors, drawing in retail customers, and networking/cheering on fellow industry professionals. I look forward to connecting with all of you in my new role. Come on by the showroom to say hi, grab a cup of coffee, or wave me down at the next Business After Hours – I would love to connect!
