A layoff, a life event, slow accumulation of Mondays that stopped adding up to anything.
A moment in a meeting room where you looked around and thought to yourself, "Not this.
Not anymore." This series, Transitioning Is a Frame of Mind, sits with the people who've actually done it.
Walked away from 20-year careers, built something new, lost the identity that came with a job title or a company.
And we're gonna ask them what it felt like, the real version, not the one you put in a keynote address or a deck.
As a reminder, as always, the views, opinions, and perspectives shared in this episode of Carpe Disruption by the hosts and all the guests are entirely personal and represent only their own individual thoughts and experiences.
Nothing discussed in this episode reflects the position, strategy, or official views of any organization that the hosts, guests work for, have previously worked for, or are professionally affiliated with.
