Your personal brand goes with you wherever you go. So when that time comes that you feel you must leave your job, fight the urge to have a Johnny Paycheck or Office Space moment, and resign with class and respect. In this episode, I’m going to draw on my 25 years of leadership to give you my perspective on how to resign gracefully and maybe even build your brand as you leave your job.

Thankful we have the freedom of choice.

How to decide it’s time to leave your job

Joy vs. obligation

Excitement vs. dread

FOMO

Content sprints

Just nice days

Fitness

Fulfillment

Financial situation

Informing your team

In person

Have things cleaned out ahead of time!

Next steps for me:

2021 - first year of Freedom

More focus on this podcast

More exploration of my creative pursuits

More flexibility to serve my photography clients

Will be trying to document the year one journey as well - mostly on Youtube I think.
