After I'd completed the assessment, I let the guy complete his feedback form and then I realised - this is the last time I will assess somebody in this office.
So I told him, "you are the last person that will be assessed by me in this
office"
He said, "then I feel very honoured".
Aaaah, how sweet. But then I started getting really sad!
He'll probably be the last person because Karen's going on holiday in a week's time and I think she's busy getting ready for that, and I don't have any other appointments scheduled.
- I've been doing this for 6 years.
- I've personally assessed around 75 - 100 people and trained about 50 consultants.
- I was the first consultant and we've gone up to over 20 over the years but at the moment, there are only 2 of us left. And I'm still there.
Dion talked some sense into me when I got home (because I'd been crying) and told me that it's the God experience that is the main thing, not the building. Which is true.
But...that is where the magic happened so many times, with so many people.
A lot of those people have since become friends and others I have never seen again (that's the problem with big churches).
I have heard lots and lots of testimonies where lives have changed. Some have changed career directions (awesome!) and are so, so happy now.
My prayer has always been that God would let the assessee have an interaction that would change their life in some way (you ex-consultants know this well :) ).
It's not about me but I was available as a vessel each and every evening, and I can only trust that God would use that to do what He's good at - changing lives!
PDM Consultants, if you want to get nostalgic with me, then please feel free to leave a comment :-)
