About Little Steps

Change and career transition is never easy. It can be scary too. 

Two and a half years ago, I took the leap into the supply chain industry, after more than a decade having run my own business in a completely different sector. 

Transition Pains

My transition was eventful, to say the least. Learning about the industry, its language, and the nuances wasn't easy. But perhaps the most challenging aspect of my transition was how I had to adjust mentally, and emotionally to the role of an employee. Having been used to giving orders, I now had to take them from others.

Its All About Little Steps 

My transition didn't happen overnight. It was a series of small steps I took that I believe helped me. Going back to school, preparing my partner to step up to take over the business, and getting encouragement and support from the family were all crucial to my transition. 

Were these planned? 

On hindsight, I'd don't think so. I went with my instinct, and had some help with Lady Luck. 

What is Little Steps? 

As a former trainer and consultant, I find my journey fascinating from a learning point of view. I want to remember the momentous inflection points, and teachable moments as a way of self-reflection and personal growth. It is with this intent in mind that I thought what better way to do this than to blog my experiences. 

Little Steps is my small space in the World Wide Web, where I get to chronicle my journey, and share my experiences. In time, I hope to learn from others as I receive comments, and as I post interesting articles from similar sites. 

Blogging is new to me, and if you come across this site, do share constructive feedback so that I can, as always, learn, and better myself.
