Betwixt and Between

So, while it's been a while since I've opened any accounts and made any money, it seems that I am continuing to be groomed for a management position. I was invited to a higher level training at our market office this afternoon which was attended by veteran agents and managers for the most part. My regional manager also wants me to start attending monthly leadership training. This is all well and good, but as I think I mentioned before, my district manager (and I) are most concerned with my livelihood. His wife is back in the hospital with a urinary tract infection from her recent surgery, so I have had to help out. Maybe it's called paying it forward. Anyway, I am still due to have coffee with him on Saturday. We'll see what he says. And in the meanwhile, I have painted my toenails a kind of dusty rose. I think I still like deep red better, but this isn't bad.

Good, go have coffee, and bond a little more. At the end of the day, though, somehow you need to do what’s best for you. I’d be wary of him feeding your ego, maybe by sending you to the classes. Sure, he wouldn’t if he thought you might somehow embarrass him. And yes, you might someday hit a winning streak and make good money. In the meantime you need to decide if it’s time to ignore you’re sunk costs and move on. It’s a very hard decision I know.

Perhaps when you have coffee, spell this all out frankly with him: what would he do and why? Maybe he’ll give you info and wisdom you don’t have. Or, you may find yourself not believing him. Or somewhere in between. All of that info will help you decide what to do.

Dear MichelleLea and Emma,

It takes time to ferret out others' INTENTIONS.  Ideally it would be great if everyone strived for a "win - win" situation.  

As for me, I would take every class offered to me to train and cross-train.  

Just watch to be sure he doesn't have a hidden agenda and that he treats you respectfully.

Your friend,

Monica
