Thursday night – reflection

Still hot and humid… I'm finding that I like it more than I think I would. It reminds me of growing up in Houston. You step out of an air-conditioned car and can no longer see because your glasses fog up. It feels like you're moving through wet wool as you walk around. But It's soft and comforting and makes everything kind of dreamlike and slow

Speaking of dreamlike Ive had a Very strange couple of weeks. I've now had about a dozen conversations and at least twice as many Email exchanges with people Who are in transition after leaving the company last week. The face-to-face meetings are very powerful for me. I have no real answers… But I am a good listener. (Or at least I think I'm a good listener.). I am happy to have helped a couple of people find new leads… But no new jobs yet. I have my fingers crossed.

I am so impressed with everyones attitude and vision as they Map out there next career move. Almost all of them plan on using this situation as an opportunity to better align their personal goals with their work goals. Someone to be bolder and start businesses… Some want to be more compassionate and work more with people… Someone to relax more and have less stress. All of these options sound pretty interesting. Though I recognize it's quite scary when you don't have a choice. But I guess we always have a choice

Listening to their stories and plans I cannot help but reflect on my own situation. what do I want to do when I grow up?

Do I want to grow up?

Nite all, nite sam,
