Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose

Ready for Change?So if your French is a little rusty, the title means “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” 

In this business you gain points for flexibility. 

Tuesday night at 7:30 the phone rings.  That’s when I no longer worked for the Company.  Seems change was brewing all around me and while I felt the undercurrent I never knew the change was that close.

Imagine how odd it feels to sense great relief.  It’s like shedding a stone of fret. 

I’m great at what I do - communications consulting.  I’m not so great at lots more - managing people, negotiating politics, handling contentious maneuvering. 

So it’s over.  And while no one likes to fail no one likes to live a horrible life, either.  The stress and anxiety and negativity is now behind me.  I can say goodbye to the Company and hello to my own company. 

Ready? You bet I am!

Wow, congratulations! Having made the leap only a couple of months ago myself, I’ve gotta say you’ve made a good move, nothing beats it :)

Hi Walter,

We were surprised to not have seen you in your usual Monday appointment. Although I’m glad to hear that you’re happy to move onto bigger and better things. I’m definately looking forward to hearing the next phase of your journey. Politics is never fun!
