It’s official.
I’ve resigned.
Someone asked me how I feel and in all honesty, I’m glad I did it. It wouldn’t have felt right to continue working when the mojo had long since disappeared.
Not fair on me, not fair on others.
So I depart.
I have no other plans except to get my headspace back. I feel as if I need to be mentally built up again as my confidence has been stripped to the point where I’m questioning the value of my work and what I espouse. Part of me believes that my work does not align with current economic models of business of organisations.
I have to come to terms that I cannot effect change in organisational systems and practices that haven’t changed. I need to have more purpose driven ideals and organisations to work with.
My plan is to regroup, refocus and get my mojo and confidence back.
Maybe I’ll retire early and in that time pick and choose the projects I want to work on or work with B-corporates, co-ops or not for profits.
I need to make a difference to my community and my world.

I like that. Yes, exactly right!
Euan says
Congratulations! I’ve been in a similar situation for a while and while disconcerting it is also exciting.
activatelearning says
Wonderful! Anything is possible!

Getting headspace back is important! Afterwards working with others who give you energy and inspiration may be a way forward. By that time I’d be happy to introduce you to some, that may be a fit with you. Like the No-Tosh team by Ewan McIntosh. (notosh.com)

Thank you! I’m looking forward to the break and what it might bring. I’m deliberately not planning anything as I really need a break of sorts. I need to consider what is important for me and the next phase. Now there’s a blast from the past. I used to follow Ewan and his writing on Twitter many years ago!
