#ask-for-help

Review Self Assessment time! I’m stuck with how to respond to “What two

professional development goals do I want to accomplish in 2022?”

As a background: I’ve been with the company (tech startup 130 employees)

5 years and was promoted 1 year ago from a SR. EA to COS (no backfill no plans

to backfill) I’m supporting a team of 7 ELO members so I do a LOT. I’m

learning the ropes as I grow into the role (some changes include more

involvement with our Board, owning agenda, decks for our weekly ELO/leadership

meetings QBRs as well as being a more active participant, project management

with cross functional teams for weekly sprints related to our rally cry,

defining objectives, etc).

My Ask: With everything on my plate my honest response would be that I

want to grow into the role where I feel more comfortable and hit my stride so

that I can excel in it. How do I phrase this as a positive without committing

myself to taking on more work/responsibility/training/classes/etc?

Maybe calling out a specific project you&#x27;re managing and detailing KPIs for it&#x27;s effective execution. Or if you&#x27;re sharing any responsibility that you ultimately want to own, it could be as easy as a full transition to you and the steps that will need to take place in order to get to that state of full ownership.</div> </div> <div class="slack__response-card"> <div class="slack__author-info"> <img src="https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/fb52ab43ac9d70902a215e580e195074/cea67983/Headshot.jpeg" loading="lazy" alt="Heather Saldinger" class="slack__author-img" /> <div class="slack__author-date"> <a href="https://www.chiefofstaff.network/members/heather-saldinger" class="slack__author-link w-inline-block" ><h2 class="slack__author-name">Heather Saldinger</h2></a > </div> </div> <div class="slack__rte is--reponse w-richtext">Thank you, great idea!</div> </div>
