I am a Resource

Hmm, I have become quite valuable at my job, no?

I get requests from every planner to listen in on this teleconference, explore that new site or trend, keep up with new techy/bloggy coolness, and it has all made me quite the little resource in and of myself.

Not only have I set up a resources folder for the entire department to use, but I am pretty well informed on each of the articles that I put in there. I always send out new notes in an e-mail but also site myself as a resource for answering questions.

By gaining all this knowledge on trends, current events and news, presentations, research tools, etc., I have already noticed crossover of knowledge. I am more readily able to link trends to things, to see the emerging trends after reading several articles, and apply this learning to our brands. How cool! Though I don't have as much work experience in planning, I have this knowledge that perhaps the other planners don't have as much time to look into.

Knowledge = power! And I feel empowered that I have something very significant to offer my team. :)
