Even though Mia had some anxiety about how the conversation would flow at her yearly review, she realised it was more excitement than worry. She had only received glowing comments throughout the last 12 months.
And as she expected, the review went exceptionally well.
There was praise for her initiative and competency in work completed to date, and she felt proud of her achievements.
As she was just about to leave, her manager offered her a suggestion on working better with a new colleague who had moved to her team.
Two days earlier, Mia had to talk with Ben about prioritising tasks to meet project deadlines.
This is what Leah was referring to, Mia thought.
Had he complained about her and her management style?
Even though it was a passing suggestion by Leah, Mia couldn’t stop thinking about it.
That evening as she recalled the meeting with her partner, she found it difficult to remember all the positive comments discussed.
Instead, her mind continued to return to the final suggestions.
What was happening, she thought?
Thank you Karen for that eye opening information. Will keep it to read again and again as ones focus gets side tracked from good to negative thoughts – so easily done! Thankyou?
How lovely to hear, I’m glad it can help, thank you Shirleyann
