“Laurapace Consultant” Story

My English name is Laura and I feel comfortable of doing work at my own pace, due to interesting experiences I had from a couple years in office. That’s where the name of Laurapace comes from.

For every job I did previously, one of the major lessons I learnt is goodwill and hardworking can hardly 100% guarantee satisfactory results eventually as expected. A success of a business depends on teamwork rather than individual effort, expertise or whatever special skills possessed by one single person. Wherever people gather as a group, a kind of culture shaped gradually due to its characteristics (business category, structure, role in general society, etc.) and it’s hard to be changed once it’s done after years of accumulation.

The reason I like the concept of “consultant” is its differentiated role of being supportive at outlining the structural issues or problems for people to look into Hopefully while minimizing potential damage caused by consultant itself. Simply put it, a same resolution can be operated in different ways depending on the acceptance and understanding of it by people who are going to apply it in their own preferable way. That’s where culture weighs in. The culture of a company (at scale) shared not only by its top management, general employees but also its shareholders. I assume that’s why some good leaders accomplished great results in one company but failed to continue his/her success in another one.

If I am going to start a career, I wish I can do it as the last one I choose with passion and dedication to do it better and better for good.
