How Have We Grown This Year? #WeAreOneKent

# data[].attributes.body
This year is special to me, I got my opportunity to be a part of Kent, I really proud and hope that I'll give as much as I can to the Kent family...

# data[].attributes.body
I have been able to share again with my friends, go out to enjoy nature and in Kent I have had the opportunity to face new challenges as a leader in charge of the best specialty in the world: Mechanical =P

I love ❤ this growth check ✔ in... and I am 100% sure, that even if you failed towards your professional growth, you have still grown with your learning milestones and knowledge... that is why people like Oxana Dukhnitskaya whom tried to pass Global certification and failed, are the true champions... For instance, I failed twice last year and this year, 2 Global HR exams sensational failures of HRCI, SPHRi and GPHR made me as strong as ever before 😅... so I am not shy to share my failures, because there is no Victory without fatality... I would like to thank all Kent Leaders 🙏 who inspire me to move on towards my destination... especially

Joining Kent and participating in Low Carbon projects is a big gain for me, at a late stage in my career: learning new skills and applying old ones, whilst working with great teams of people!

On a personal level, I look forward to renewing my passion for travel in a post-pandemic world.

Wow that was a quick year. I’ve loved becoming part of our newly formed Total Rewards team - the job, the people, and I gained an awesome mentor Pawan Ahuja. My family has also grown so we now have three amazing boys ages 4y, 2y and 2 months which is a whirlwind of fun, joy and chaos, and learning as we go.

I've come to the realisation this year that life is too short to just carry on doing the same thing in the same way, if the results don't make you happy. This has resulted in significant changes to the way that our family unit operates and functions and we are all much happier as a result.

I have grown to appreciate the simple things I took for granted every day prior to the COVID experience. To be awakened to the simple pleasure of the freedom to interact directly with family, friends and Kent Team members.

My success is through lifestyle change. I started to look into what food types worked for my body and removed what didn't from my everyday diet, and I have started a new workout routine by going to the gym, which is something I didn't think I would enjoy or even like, which is an achievement for me, even to keep going. This made me feel better and more energised, and I don't get ill as much anymore.

I’ve grown as a golfer but sadly not managed to play as much guitar. I’ve really grown in terms of my understanding of Inclusion and Belonging.

# data[].attributes.body
Many things have changed over the last year I’ve worked in 3 companies but at Kent I’ve find a wonderful human team, it’s really the company where I want to be . I’ve learned about the things that really matter in the life: Health, Family and a good Job with really nice people like Kent’s Team.

The year was wonderful! Full of difficulties, discoveries, changes and opportunities.
In Kent, I have had opportunities and new challenges.

In 2021, I was restored to the post of Material Coordinator. A lot of work has been done to restore order after quarantine. We completed 607 3GP and 3GI projects.

Transfer to another department for another position - HSE admin...

Together with relatives, we found and restored the family cemetery, where our ancestors up to the 8th generation are buried. We restored historical justice, which was violated by the Bolsheviks, in the 20-30s of the last century...

Finished course "Fundamentals of ecological fruit and vegetable business"
Graduated from the magistracy. Received a master's degree in pedagogy and psychology.

It’s great to hear how our first year as Kent has driven people to new challenges, however, for me the success of year one as Kent has been the stability it has brought enabling us to grow professionally by continuing to meet the challenges of maintaining comms throughout our gas plant. On a personal level, one more year towards that mechatronics degree, going so fast.

I completed a mental toughness program called “75Hard”; where for 75 days straight you complete daily challenges, and if you missed a daily challenge, you restart the program.

The daily tasks were as follows:
• Two 45-minute workouts per day (one must be outside, regardless of the weather conditions)
• Follow a healthy, balanced diet (no cheat days, and no alcohol)
• Read 10 pages of an entrepreneurial, personal development, business, or nonfiction book: no sci-fi or romance novels!
• No alcohol!
• Drink a gallon of water
• Take a progress picture
I dropped almost 30lbs, and most importantly, I experienced great mental health benefits. I read 5 books during that time; and reading was never a pastime I loved.

The program instilled a great sense of discipline, and it changed my frame of mind from “I don’t have time for this” to, “I must make the time for this”.

The program completely overhauled the way I think and conduct myself; I prioritize differently now, and that gives me a better work/life balance.

Hard to believe it's been a year already, what a journey it's been so far. I've loved connecting with old colleagues and welcoming new ones.

I've learned a lot about myself. Getting a little older, with a lot more professional responsibility, I've been ensuring to spend time on myself personally and professionally. I've been reading a lot more than I ever have, I've been working to upskill myself and add value to the team with my added knowledge and experience. I've been working on creating positive habits (I'd recommend the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear) and with our larger team I've grown to listen more, be patient and approachable. I became an uncle for the first time this year which has also helped carve another amazing outlook in life which has been really positive.

I'm looking forward to the next year!

This year my both daughters pass their finals examination with flying percentage which made our family proud.

I recently got the opportunity to be selected and work for the Kent family. I hope I'll learn alot from here and will gain a great deal of experience.

Good morning, Kent world! The place and space where dreams come true! This year was tremendous great to me in career change expanding and shifting from recruitment to HR management role in KZ. Thank you to amazing Leaders for this credit, Zhanar Ablayeva for inspiration, the best mentor / life and professional coacher supporting to go thru exciting learning journey, tackle varied issues everyday from legal and industrial perspective. William Quinlan, Simon Andrews and other leadership team for shaping my skills and knowledge by sharing your personal experience and fruitful engagement. Proud to be at Kent and promote cultural initiatives using my networking, helping and lifting others, improving wellbeing thru sport activities engaging other colleagues, respect values as it come from trust, love and kindness.

My dream in the childhood was to play piano 🎹 and I finally started the new learning beautiful experience as well as successfully improved my personal running record and ready to accept a challenge with our running Kent team later this year on the marathon😊

This year has marked a significant change in both my personal and professional life. As part of my employment change, I moved from Lumpsum EPC to a reimbursable service environment with a new risk profile and appetite. My operations area also grew to include numerous more regions outside the MENA. On the personal front, my younger son is getting ready to start college this fall, and we recently moved to Abu Dhabi. Overall, this year has been amazing so far.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the passing of my father and the birth of my new grand-daughter this year, I am more in tune with what matters most in life. These events have given me the opportunity to pause, reflect and be more mindful that every action leaves a trace, and to be more intentional on living into the best version of myself. We get one life, make everyday count.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve learned more about what is important to me in my career, and I’ve learned how important it is to listen more!

# data[].attributes.body
I had changed a lot in my life. I moved to another country, and half year I was doing some homework, and then I got offer from Kent Kazakhstan, and I accepted it, already done first shift rotation. I found it as a perfect place to grow and study new things on the way. I am happy to be part of Kent!

This past year my biggest growth was in commercial negotiations. I always felt like I was a bit under skilled with this.

On a almost weekly basis for the past 8 months I have had to position and negotiate with Clients rates, budgets, change orders and personnel assignments. I feel has gone quite successfully when considering the volume of increased work awarded.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my journey continues. You bring so much experience and a backpack of history that sometimes you don’t recognise the opportunity to do something in a new way. I’ve learnt over the last year that giving people and concepts time to develop will give us better results and create a more creative workplace

# data[].attributes.body
This year I decided to take action on the greatest challenge of our lifetime, so I started volunteering with an organization that funds and executes solar energy generation projects in my community. So far it has been a great learning experience!

# data[].attributes.body
Too many changes, too many decisions in short time, it´s July now.... But what is true is that I value a lot to have a Job this year with Kent doing it from home, allowing me to share more time with my parents and brothers. Family comes first.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow, what a year. Being authentic I have to say that after a year with my previous employer and such a bad experience, this last year since the merger has given me the opportunity for my confidence to return in spades, we all have some doubts, whatever stage your career is at my self worth has grown and I feel 'teflon' coated to take on the next big challenge, even the IMO integration and separation :-) That came about by working with great people who are always willing to give me feedback and support. The value of speaking our truth but holding it lightly really resonates with me. I have met some amazing folks and grown my understanding in a Global role through my HR team's in Kaz, Netherlands and the UK, they are just awesome people who we are so lucky to have within HR in Kent. Getting to know the challenges our teams face in Kaz, Netherlands and the UK business has been great, they tackled COVID and employee care with vigour and pride. Even the Civil unrest we had in Kaz with the unflappable Zhanar and Albina Li, was simply an amazing bunch. The year has also seen me becoming a dad at age 51 this year (again) so our family has grown. Our journey with surrogacy in Ukraine was shared with my close colleagues and everyone has just, well, been what we expect from folks at Kent, their good wishes and prayers have carried me and my wife through, just awesome people, I will never forget this last year and the moral support given by all my Kent tribe. thank you all #wegrowtogether

Personally - I'm proud that I've committed to reading one new book a month for over a year now. Used to be a bookworm when I was younger, so love that I'm getting back to it again, it helps reduce my digital screen time massively and it's honestly how I learnt to be a good writer in Comms.

Professionally - I think all the work that went into our Strategy Awareness Session definitely shaped me, deepened my skills and shined a light on areas I need to work on.

# data[].attributes.body
At Kent, I feel the work we’ve done on culture and belonging in the UK is reflected back to us from the organisation in spades - it’s an amazing difference to our experience in previous years, and not one I could even have imagined we wanted or needed - it’s just how things were! I’ve also enjoyed making many new work friends - corny but true :)
At home… My littlest starts school this year, and we are fully out of babyhood! 😭💃🏻 We’re moving in to a new season as a family, and rediscovering interests we now have a bit more time for, and which our kids are showing some interest in too. Lots of fun! ❤️ ✈️ 🏉 🎹 🌸 🔨

# data[].attributes.body
I have a few more grey hairs.... but also...I changed careers this last year. Because our business has changed, I've have the opportunity to step from HR, after 17 years, and into Internal Communications. Every day I'm being pushed out of my comfort zone with a new challenge and learning. Freaking loving it so far.

# data[].attributes.body
This year has been great for me, getting back to work after all the global COVID-related issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Kent is a wonderful place to be - Happy 1st anniversary ! I have grown professionally this year and also participated in many employee engagement initiatives. Its lovely to be a part of Kent and looking forward to more wonderful times ahead ! 😊

# data[].attributes.body
Upon reflecting, from a personal standpoint, this year was definitely a slower pace than years passed. Because we travelled much less than normal, we spent more time together as a family and have gotten to know our Houston friends and neighbors who have now become like family. I wouldn't say life has been relaxing (especially with a two-year-old) but I've been able to slow down and enjoy the little moments. From a work perspective, on the other hand, I've been able to work on many exciting implementation-related projects which have kept things dynamic and interesting. I've gotten to know so many wonderful new colleagues, tried out new lunch spots and even joined the Kent running club. To sum it up, I'd say this past year for me has been all about relationship cultivating and growth!

# data[].attributes.body
Oh! This year has also been fantastic for me! I want to share and celebrate the fact that I came to live in a new country! I never lived abroad before, and now I am settled in UAE. This has brought amazing things into my life; amazing friends, unique experiences, and one of the things I am most grateful for is that I landed an awesome job in my new home country; I became part of the Kent family!
Here is a photo of my first time in the Burj Khalifa, and of my access card to the Kent office (I was so excited when I got it)!

# data[].attributes.body
This past year has been an incredible year for my personal growth, I've learnt authentic self-expression and drawing healthy boundaries.

# data[].attributes.body
What has shaped me this year, was the death of my father. Like every human and more so our work colleagues, we need to be more vigilant and compassionate to the workforce. Personal growth is one thing, helping a colleague in his time of need / or personal growth is more satisfying to me. In short " Humanity is paramount in eeveryone's growth".

Happy 1 year Anniversary of Kent! Indeed a remarkable event for each one of us! Delighted and grateful for the opportunity to drive to make difference - not only in the company’s success but also in the success of our beloved peers. Kent allows us to demonstrate to do great work on an advanced level for sure! ❤️ #KentAnniversary

# data[].attributes.body
It was fantastic.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say I have become more flexible by dealing with different circumstances. By encountering different people in this arena, I have also developed my people skills. Although all of this didn't happen overnight. It gradually took me years to accomplish this. The hardships, and the tough times were present yet I am grateful. It changed me in a positive way. I am much more understanding towards others. And I feel there is meaning and value to my existence.

# data[].attributes.body
