Sponsored!!!

I recently brought an idea for improvement to my supervisor, and she told me who I would need to talk with to get feedback and told me she would be glad to help me, if I needed it. At first, it just sounded like one of those "sure, now go talk to this person who will say it's a good idea, but is not implementable" tactics. Regardless, I set-up the appointment and put together a write-up of the idea. The write-up was more for my benefit, really. I needed to get my thoughts organized and somewhere where I could review them and make modifications and additions. I think better that way for some reason.

Anyway, I asked my supervisor to review it when she had a chance, so she said that if I was ready, we could review it right then. So we did. At the end of that meeting, she was sponsoring my idea and told me that she is going to share what I was doing with the COO of the organization!!! Who knew that going out on a ledge could get some much attention? Hopefully my idea is actually good enough and implementable so something will happen. If not, at least I won't be wondering what would have happened if I had brought it up.
