Thanks Suzie. Once we take the decision and let go of money fears in deciding our next step, the rest of the way becomes smoother.

Thanks Roslyn. Helping professionals find new directions and ways forward is one of the most rewarding jobs possible.

Thanks Marquita. It’s never easy to walk away but when the issue is well being, then we know what needs to be done. I agree with you about the reactions of our family and friends. Fortunately, when I left a toxic job that almost killed me, my family was very supportive and even offered to support me while I worked out my next move. Fortunately I didn’t have to use the offer but knowing there was a safety net gave me the courage to do the right thing by myself. Friends are another kettle of fish – mixed fish actually. As with any adversity, a change in status is a good acid test to weed out the real friends from those who aren’t. At the end of the day, it is our life and if we lose a few friends, then the Universe sends us better friends because the empty space needs to be filled.

Right decision at the right time is essential. There are a number of factors that play a role in the timing, for example, if the job market is bad, then biding one’s time to exit and find a new job is an important criteria. Thanks for sharing your perspective and insight.

I noticed that too Sue, and it made my heart sing with joy that I had a kindred spirit in empowering fellow professionals and new business owners. You are right, some enterprises whether in the public or private sector require total submission of Will of their employees. No wonder many leave because it suffocates their intellect. The one’s who stay behind need to be empowered to take the right step at the right time.
