Rotational Program (GOLD)

Rotational Program (GOLD), originally uploaded by ben.obrien.

As a participant in th Global Operations Leadership Development
program at Avery Dennison I get the opportunity to work and live in
different locations each year for three years. I am very happy with
this, but it has it's ups and downs for sure.

It is great to live in and engulf myself in different cultures and
friendship circles. But it sure is tough leaving. My wonderful friends
at the strongsville site had a party for me leaving and to my surprise
they did it before I left :) and provided this cake. It shows a
grasshopper on it's way to south Carolina. They called me grasshopper
because I was just begining to learn things like on the tv show Kung Fu.

As I start here not knowing people very well I wonder what our
relationship will be like in a year.

It's exciting to have control over what that will look like here. I
hope I will make it the best it can be.
