Let me tell you about a huge project where I had been tasked with delivering a redesigned website for an international nutrition and sports nutrition company. The project had a tight deadline and required me to work with other people and cross-functional teams. I was excited about the project, but I knew it was going to be difficult.
The first challenge was getting all the team members aligned on the same page. I had to work with web UI/UX designers, content creators, developers, and marketing specialists from all over the world. Each team member had their own unique ideas about what the website should be, so I had to be a good listener and communicator.
Once the team had agreed on the website’s look and feel, I had to get to work on the SEO strategy. I researched the best keywords, trending topics, and phrases to use and came up with a plan to optimize the website content, URL nomenclature, schemas coding, and more. However, I soon discovered that the website had some technical issues that needed to be addressed before the SEO could be fully implemented. I worked with the website’s developers to fix the issues migrating from a legacy HTML site to a Brand new one using the ADOBE AEM CMS platform, but it took longer than expected.
Meanwhile, the content creators were struggling to produce high-quality content in multiple languages. I knew that content was crucial to the website’s success, so I helped the team by providing them with SEO-friendly topic ideas, AI support, and ways to optimize their content.
As the deadline approached, So I had to, YES, burn my midnight oil. I was worried that the team wouldn’t be able to deliver on time. However, I encouraged everyone to work together and stay focused on the end goal. Despite the challenges, the team managed to pull off an impressive site and delivered on time.
The website was a huge success, and my employer and stakeholders were thrilled with the results. I learned a lot from the experience and I was proud of what we could achieve. I knew that teamwork, communication, and persistence were key to delivering successful projects, even under tough circumstances.
This project became the foundation and solid bases for future implementations and was replicated worldwide for 90 countries.
Whenever I feel stressed I practice dancing salsa, meditating, practice boxing, or riding my motorcycle alone or with friends outside the city for the weekend. These have helped me leverage stress in my life.
