A real life example

A few days ago, someone messaged me about their experience in being transparent in their workplace. This is a real life story, and this happened in Toronto. I hope this encourages you in your efforts to be transparent in your work!

“So yesterday was my second year anniversary, and I was just sad about being here. I was hoping if be somewhere else by now. Anyway, God just totally blessed me and gave me perspective in such a beautiful way. At first I got a call for an interview, which was just positive and encouraging. And then my office manager came up to me and started asking me about games night and just being curious. I asked her if she wanted to come to the next one and she said she wanted to be invited to the next games night. It was so awesome. I felt so good that she felt comfortable enough to take initiative and invite herself just from seeing my postings on Facebook. I felt like i had broken a barrier with her (its been interesting to get to know her…shes just a very lonely woman).

And then later, I was talking to another coworker and she asked what I was doing that night. I said bible study and she started asking questions about it. And I ended up sharing the gospel with her. It was just a totally unexpected crazy day.

I was so frustrated a couple weeks back I was like ‘God, I don’t want to be here. but I’ve made no impact. What have I done here?’ and He just did something yesterday. I don’t know why, but He did. It gave me good perspective. I was more excited about that stuff than my interview!”
