Celebrating the Long Game

I can't believe that it is already DAY 300.

300 days ago I drew a line in the sand and alerted my coach that it was time for a change. At first, she was surprised as we already working on a plan and I wanted to start a new one. Then, after a few thoughtful questions, just like that, she pivoted with me. I had already said the date out loud to one of my dearest girlfriends. October 1st, 2021 would be my jumping-off point. I would be ready to make a change, take a leap, and define my purpose. At that moment, the journey of discovery and reinvention began.?

Little did I know that the pandemic would give me the clarity and push I needed. I spent two furloughs talking to many people in difficult situations. They were contemplating their future and second-guessing their past. Why had they stayed so long? Why had they not said anything? Even when they had done everything right, it was natural to question "why me?" I was having daily discussions as people talked through career conversations, job searches, and lots of reflection. Unfortunatley hindsight is 20/20. It became clear that I could help others find their path to happiness and success through coaching and career strategies, just as?Meg Rentschler, MSW, PCC, had helped me.?

I started building a website, a social strategy, took photos, and put my plans in place, gaining more clarity day by day. I was lucky to be introduced to the great?Mina Brown,?signed up for an intensive 8-day class with a fantastic cohort, and here I am - on day 300.

I jumped early; 17 weeks ago, I left my corporate career. As of today, I have 299 days behind me and 65 ahead of me until I hit that one-year milestone.?

Every day since day 1, I have acknowledged how many days I have ahead of me and behind me. Every day I am thinking of helping others find their own definition of success in their journey. It has kept me focused.?

I left a job and team I loved to do something new where I can use my skills and many years in HR to pull back the curtains and helps others find their success and happiness. As a bonus, yesterday, The Network Concierge gained the 300th follower; that is just the beginning. I hope you too will follow.

The most exciting part, there are still 65 days until October 1st, 2021. Although it will not end that day, it will be a day to celebrate.?
