Seemed like dejavu. Five years ago, found myself identified as a F.u.t.u.r.e L.e.a.d.e.r and was put through a gruesome 9 months of intensive training. Today, got notified that I was identified as an E.m.e.r.g.i.n.g L.e.a.d.e.r and again it comes with a 9 months training! O_o

Back then I was so scared I begged my boss to pull me out. Work itself was busy enough, where got time to go and attend intensive training with more assignments and presentations?! Sadly my boss said just go with it... sure can one. Well, I guess she was right cos afterall I emerged the champion for the individual category. The only female amongst 13 of us and even got featured in the annual report haha. :)

Today, although I feel honored and thankful to be considered for the program, I worry I may not have the time to commit as I used to. With the expanding portfolios, I am already struggling with resources. How?!!! Contemplated begging my boss to pull me out but I have a feeling it will be a waste of time. Briefing on Wednesday by CEO, 3 online assessments by Monday. Guess I better get started.

Please wish me luck! I hope I still have what it takes to complete the training.
