Chapter 30: The Wheel of Life

Under Peng Chaoyue's arrangement, Xuan Ziyi quickly adapted to the work mode of the US headquarters, and indeed as Peng Chaoyue said, the work content is completely similar to that in China, the only difference is that the people who work with him are replaced by Americans, and the language of communication is converted from Chinese to American.

Because she had been trained with an American speaking coach before she came, it was difficult for Xuan Ziyi to communicate daily at work, and Xuan Ziyi was also quite adapted to the straightforward way of talking in Americans, and she didn't need to think about every word she said for too long when she was in China.

In less than five months, Xuan Ziyi has been able to cope with her work freely. Peng Chaoyue put forward new requirements for her, taking over some of his own coordination and reporting work, and clearly told her that he had applied for her to take over his position. He also helped her apply for an executive coach to help her transform from a junior manager to a middle manager.

Xuan Ziyi's management coach came from a consulting company appointed by the company, and the management coach was a Chinese, 40-year-old man, tall, slightly chubby, and good-looking. The dress is always very professional and the way of conversation is very rigorous.

For the first time, Xuan Ziyi understood the concept of a so-called wheel of life from the coach. The coach asked her to rate herself in eight areas. They are family life, social life, health, faith, work, money, self-growth, and living facilities. Xuan Ziyi looked at the watch, and the coach asked her to rate her satisfaction in this regard, and she was completely stunned.

"It's okay, you just score it on a 10-point scale based on how you really feel at the moment." Seeing Xuan Ziyi's blind look, the coach understood that Xuan Ziyi had never thought of this.

Yes, Xuan Ziyi looked at these, except for health, work and self-growth, she didn't seem to need to score anything now.

She still told the coach all about her situation truthfully, and the coach later directly asked her to put aside reality and redefine her life goals and directions. And sort these eight items according to your own wishes, and give her a week to think about them.

The following week, she met with her coach for another two hours, and the coach began to guide her.

"When you rank, what do you particularly value?" The coach looked at Xuan Ziyi intently and asked her.

Xuan Ziyi thought for a while and replied: "Self-growth." ”

"What else are you dissatisfied with about your growth?" The coach asked her kindly.

"Mentally, there are still a lot of things that need to be grown mentally." Xuan Ziyi replied to the coach with her chin in her hands.

"Can you tell me a little bit about your family?" The coach pondered from Xuan Ziyi's speech what she had to say.

Xuan Ziyi confided in the coach about her flash marriage and divorce from her husband after the death of her child. As for her parents and brother, she didn't elaborate.

"What do you care more about in your work and family life?"

"For me, my work is the most important thing now." Xuan Ziyi felt that there was nothing else in front of her that she could see and grasp except for work.

"You're focused on your work because you don't have anything else that satisfies you?" The coach wanted to confirm whether Xuan Ziyi was like this in his heart.

"I just want to prove myself by achieving something at work at the moment." Xuan Ziyi repeatedly emphasized to the coach.

"Well, I see, then you can tell me directly, what do you think you are struggling with in terms of work right now?"

"I get anxious when my subordinates make mistakes or can't clarify their responsibilities and responsibilities, and I always want to do it myself." Xuan Ziyi expressed her confusion to the coach.

"Are you anxious about the completion of the task or doubt the ability of your subordinates?" The coach tried to ask Xuan Ziyi about the truest fear in her heart.

"It seems to have both," Xuan Ziyi really couldn't answer. Every time she encounters a subordinate who does not complete the work according to her requirements, there will be problems with the state of her whole person. She can't learn to be as calm as Peng Chaoyue, no matter what mistakes Peng Chaoyue makes when she makes them, he always says: "If you think about it again, I believe you will do it again." Xuan Ziyi will go back and do it again, and it is often done as Peng Chaoyue said.

However, her subordinates also tried to use Peng Chaoyue's method, but the results turned out to be still not good, and she always did it again herself. Sometimes the time is too tight, she will directly demonstrate to her subordinates, and if the subordinates can't do well after the demonstration, she will be anxious. And those foreign subordinates are always reluctant to come to Xuan Ziyi halfway to criticize and disturb them after giving orders.

"Do you have a good standard when you assign a mission? Where are the boundaries? The coach continued to ask.

"Well, sometimes, sometimes I don't have standards when I get a task." Xuan Ziyi was asked by the coach and realized that she seemed to have a problem.

"Next week, you can try to write a few more criteria before you give the assignment. Talk to your subordinates about what they might meet. The coach suggested that Xuan Ziyi practice at work.

According to the coach's suggestion, Xuan Ziyi preset several standards for the work each time she issued the work, and then communicated with her subordinates in advance so that she could reach an agreement before taking action.

With the help of the coach, Xuan Ziyi made changes step by step. Coaches follow a service agreement that goes from two hours twice a week to two hours at a time, and then once a week for two hours at a time. Help Xuan Ziyi sort out the work well, answer Xuan Ziyi's confusion, and gradually improve the ways and means of her work. After three months of collaborative practice, Xuan Ziyi's management team has been enhanced.

The coach provided Xuan Ziyi's evaluation report to the Human Resources Department at the end of the service agreement as required. Therefore, Xuan Ziyi was successfully promoted. stepped into Peng Chaoyue's position, and when she first got the news, she excitedly reported the good news to Peng Chaoyue and Wang Min. Peng Chaoyue was actually happier than Xuan Ziyi, because his wish to carry her came true.

In the company where they worked, any boss who wants to be promoted to a higher position is a prerequisite for his own promotion. Peng Chaoyue found a successor for his position, so that he could prepare for his own career planning. Directly entered the company's corporate university management school, and conducted more systematic learning in order to be able to promote the company's higher-level executives.

After Xuan Ziyi was promoted to Peng Chaoyue's position, her self-confidence rose sharply. At the same time, through the coach's guidance, she began to think more about her own wheel of life. She only knew the life she wanted to live before, but in fact it was all vague and did not conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis. The coach's guidance gave her a direction for the future, a relatively clear direction.

She wondered if she could have a life like Wang Min and Peng Chaoyue. A long time ago, she thought it was a luxury, but now, she felt she was qualified to go for it.
