Running a front desk comes with more hurdles than people assume. All at once, the phones are going crazy, people are lining up with questions, someone’s mad, another guy’s lost, and someone else is telling you their life story. (Not interested, buddy!!) At times, you may feel like you’re babysitting grown professionals (seriously, the only difference is you don’t have to change diapers). And, of course, among the chaos, you can’t forget to smile!

Tonight was Praxis Wednesday - and a special one too! We had Johnny Roccia lead the call for the apprentice group. If you remember the blog posts I wrote back when I was in the placement process, you'll remember a lot of them were regarding interviews and landing my apprenticeship. Those posts were inspired by the Praxis Wednesday sessions which were also lead by Mr. Roccia and I was excited to learn from him again tonight.
When a door opens up for a good opportunity, walk in. Don't hesitate. Even if it's not perfect, just go for it. Why? Because that door will lead to another opportunity if you do it right. You have to start somewhere and your dreams won't be accomplished by sitting around and waiting for the door to open. If you see a door open that you can learn from (which is most doors) take that opportunity.
I’m blown away at the fact that it’s already been a month since I’ve started the second half of the Praxis program. So far, my journey has taken off to a great start, and I’m excited to start planning for next month!
Here's my updates on everything I learned during my second week at my apprenticeship, what I'm working on, and what's going on in the Praxis world. It's been a good week. Let's get to it.
