We have business professionals focused on the business changes. We have technology professionals focusing on our platform. “We have folks focused on implementing the changes we need to come together as one company. “Our office is the heartbeat of the merger,” Yamaato says. The merger of equals, which began in 2019, is scheduled to be completed in 2022. It’s a complicated mission: Combine two financial companies with 54,000 teammates and thousands of different technologies and platforms, all while ensuring minimal disruption to the clients. Yamaato, head of merger program office, is responsible for the fast-moving merger-of-equals integration, which created one of the top 10 U.S.
Years later, he’s now in the perfect spot for someone who excels at transitions. “I was an athlete,” he says, “so it was very easy for me to make friends because you can just go play a sport and join the team.” Adapting to new places developed Yamaato’s natural curiosity and ability to work with people. Moving meant new communities, cultures, and opportunities to connect with other people. Instead of the challenges being limitations, they were adventures. im really grateful for the people who’ve been there as i’ve grown and grown with me, and im really glad for the people around me right now.But instead of finding the change stressful, Yamaato found strength from it. but i guess i just wanted to say i’ve changed a lot over the years, we’ve all changed a lot. and fortunately (or unfortunately) i think i’m pretty good at that. people always ASSUME i burn bridges I DON’T.
#JUST HOW FAST THE NIGHT CHANGES HOW TO#
and i guess growing up is learning how to do that too, right?ĭon’t worry i don’t burn bridges. as i’ve cut people off, reached out to others, and made an effort with others, i’m quite happy with the way i’ve whittled down my circle to people i enjoy spending time with. I guess very much like how i like the way i’ve changed over the years (mostly), i like how my circle has developed. but where was i going with this… yes, relationships. those who knew me in secondary school, don’t try to figure out who, and don’t ask me AHAHAHAHAHA it’s taken enough for me to put this down here. i think im way better now, i made a conscious effort to stop doing that, but god knows emma had to stop me from cutting myself off TOO MANY times in smith (love u emma smith friends u should thank emma too).
but that’s how it was right, not like i can go back and change it. but im an introvert, and i was even shyer back then, so really it’s harder than it seems. in hindsight, i probably should just have reached out. and it didn’t really save me any misery, in fact it made me more miserable, and awkward at times. im embarrassed (i write for the content - appreciate me) to say this but i used to get upset when it felt like a friend was drifting, and then cut myself off before even more drifting happened. i know in secondary school one of my least favourite things about myself was that i used to harp on all these relationships that i saw myself drifting from. we change, we drift from people we used to be close to, and we grow closer to people that we used to be acquaintances with. “you’ve changed” shouldn’t be a bad thing. and i hope i continue to grow to like her more as we continue growing. like i said in one of my earliest blogposts, it feels like i’ve grown every year since i’ve left ii, and i very much like this caitlin. we’ve grown older, we’ve done more things, and i guess it’d be even weirder if we didn’t change from how we were when we were 16. but idk everytime ricky (hi ricky!!) and i meet and he says something along the lines that i’ve changed a lot since ii he always feels the need to explain that it’s not a change in a bad way, and it’s not like i was awful to be around when we were in school. why does “you’ve changed” hold such negative sentiment?
the mother says i’ve got the makings for an old gossip aunty, but #1 what’s life without gossip #2 i don’t spread gossip, i just enjoy consuming trash #3 im pretty sure it’s a social thing. it’s always nice to see how everyone and it’s even more interesting to see how everyone’s doing. So every once in a while i suddenly find myself meeting up with a bunch of old friends.
