A number of clients are on the move.

They’ve found a new role – or it came after them.  They’ve decided enough and “I’ll back myself” and resign then find something else.

Whatever your reason for moving on, there’s always something to be grateful and gracious about.  

Even if you’re leaving because you can’t stand another moment longer with your team or doing what you’re doing, you can still be objective as you leave.  

You will have learned so many lessons and been exposed to all sorts of people and experiences which will have taught you something – even if it’s that you never want to do that again.

In my own corporate role, I lost track of how many people left to go to the competition, full of anticipation for the new and, at times, sarcasm of the old.  

Then, the situation changed.  

• The company you left buys or merges with the company you went to. 
• The boss you left to get away from joins the company you joined. 
• The team you didn’t want to work with any more are brought into your company. Like magic, here you are again.  

I’ve seen all these things happen and remember how uncomfortable they were for those who burnt their bridges.

My suggestion is to do your absolute best to look for the positives in what you’ve experienced where you are and to seek to be objective as you leave. 

When you’re talking about what you’re going to do and why, remember you never know where you’ll meet again and when or if you’ll need the connection again.  

That’s strategic as well as energetically strong. 

Brief from me today as today I’m hosting a gathering of past and present clients.  A number of them have or will be doing exactly the above!

Or in someone else’s words…

Thelma and Douglas Hound (the two on the right) have been going to Doggy Daycare (and overnight in the ‘Hotel’ ) and have met up with a number of other Lurchers too… how they got them to sit like that I do not know?!  It took a lot of treats apparently 😍
