Thank you, my network - you’ve been beyond brilliant.
When you jump into uncertainty, away from the shores of corporate safety, because you need to grow, learn and probably build something from scratch again – there are of course moments of great uncertainty; that inner voice can really be a pain in the ass! ??
Mark Evans certainly possesses a sixth sense he reached out at the outset and asked if I wanted to chat; a conversation of kindness and sage advice – just what I needed at that moment. ???
And that triggered me to start reaching out to both old and new contacts – a hearty thank-you to all of you I’ve spoken to over the last couple of months Lloyd Stokes Rob Playford Andy Laws Nadia Benaissa G?khan Nazenin Angela Yore (Fin/Tech PR) Jonathan Bennett Richard Felton Jeff Parker Sal Atta Anastasia Albert ????

Anyone in a similar situation – my biggest learning - ask those that you meet, and this is where the magic really can happen, who in their network they suggest you reach out to; I’ve experienced so many great conversations, serving up new ideas and pushing me in different directions! Try it. ?
The power of LinkedIn - going into the new year use your network, reach out for help, ask for advice and offer back in return. ?

And throughout all of this what also really helps is an accountability partner – D?rte Dye you’ve been equal parts mood observer, motivational coach and educator. Life is easier when you’ve got someone watching your back and frequently checking in with you. Thank you!

It’s family time in Zurich; and it brings back happy memories of shooting my first Marqeta video case study with the great folks of @Yappeal! Daniel Capraro
Happy Xmas all and see you back in the New Year! And if there’s anyone in my network that I can assist – drop me a note and we can connect in Jan.
Christmas love.

2 个月What a lovely article. I keep encouraging people to be more open to new connections and meetings. You really don't know who you can learn from or who you can help. Granted, you will get some people who immediately try to sell to you.But you may also meet a new best friend, a co-worker, a business partner, maybe even someone who has something that you really needed in the moment. Nice share
