Fion Chua’s Post

Content Strategy Lead @ Synapze | Creative generalist | Social media marketer

July felt like the longest month ever. Start of the month, I was in Langkawi for a work trip with my client. End of the month, I was setting up Synapze Sdn Bhd’s office with new teammates. It felt like two totally different worlds. There were times where I felt like I was in limbo. I’m grateful to have good people around me to talk it out and process what’s been happening. There were a lot of anxiety in the initial stages which I managed to work through. I’m in a good place now. I don’t tell them but the team has been a good support in this transition period. They’ve been fun and easy to work with in spite of the not-so-easy projects. The work is challenging enough for me. More responsibilities, more stakeholders, higher stakes. It scratches my brain in the right places. I find fulfilment in handling a variety of tasks, instead of always being in front of a screen, logging away hours. Micromanagement is non-existent and I’m empowered to work quite independently, which I appreciate and enjoy. We’re also encouraged to speak up and this transparency has enabled me to be comfortable sharing my thoughts, which I usually tend to keep in. Maybe it’s too early to tell, but I hope to carry this optimism with me moving forward. Anyway, peak season is approaching us. If I disappear from LinkedIn, you know where to find me. In the trenches.

In the trenches? Har?!?!? I’m glad you’re assimilating well with the others. Hopefully that one team member of yours also spend less time on LinkedIn but on actual work 😅 PS: Baru 1st month I get report card d 😓

Totally relate to the feeling you're facing now! I'm right in the middle of my peak season and it's partially why I'm taking a step back from LinkedIn (already disappearing in the trenches 😂😂) I'm glad to have been given a very similar setup so it's been extremely hectic to manage a lot of things on my own! Safe to say, there's been a ton of learnings and I can't wait to talk more about it once peak season is over.

Sometimes, having anxiety means you hold yourself to a higher standard, and you will deliver on your responsibilities. Good job, Fion Chua, and may you ride the wave of momentum over the next few months!

💪happy 1 month working anniversary. The world is really different when you are part of a company versus when you are a solopreneur. It’s a matter of getting used to it. Keep it up. You are doing great.
