Let's get ridiculous
Three years ago, I made a ridiculous decision.
I quite my full time ad agency job with a regular paycheck to become an executive coach.
I had two clients. I shelled out a sizable chunk of money to get formal coach training. And I had no idea where any of this would lead.
Ridiculous.
And one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Because it gave me a chance to explore a question that’d been weighing on me for a while.
What if I don’t have to sacrifice who I am to succeed?
This is the question Maria DeLorenzis Reyes and I dug into on her amazing podcast, Finding the Upside.
We talked about purpose and meaning at work, values-driven leadership, the myth of stability and the importance of being true to yourself in a world that gives you a million reasons not to.
I loved my ad career. Even when I hated it. Because it allowed me to be me, until “me” changed and I had to move on.
Take a listen to the show. And then tell me what ridiculous decision you’re ready to make for yourself.
