Quit is not a dirty word.    Whitney Sullivan is a leadership coach, enneagram practitioner, keynote speaker, and team building. Her professional training and  coaching business is designed to help rising leaders breakthrough barriers to thrive, help professionals increase purpose, peace, and performance at work and help teams thrive at work with more bravery, belonging, and ability to increase the bottom line.   After spending 10 years in higher education as a health and wellness instructor, Whitney experienced a significant shift during the pandemic. She faced unique challenges when her workplace crises coincided with the global crisis, prompting major professional and personal changes.   Whitney had always identified herself as someone who never quits and thought she needed to stick things out. However, the events of 2020 made her consider the possibility of quitting her job. Before seeking guidance from her sister, also a leadership coach, she wrote down what she was feeling: high fatigue, low morale, and feelings of discouragement and doubt. These emotions did not align with how she wanted to feel about her career. She left that call with her sister, realizing her attachment to the "I'm not a quitter" identity was hindering her.   In January 2021, she started her side hustle, and by October 2021, she transitioned to full-time in her business. The journey was not without its challenges, and a touch of culture shock. Throughout her process of transformation, Whitney discovered the three G's that helped maintain resilience and create a life she loves which is what she teaches today.      In this Episode, we chat about: Quit is not a dirty word Quit vs. Grit The Three G’s of Resilience What to ask yourself to stay in the game and continue to grow What is a truth diary? And the power it holds! Mentioned in this episode:    The Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown   Stay Goaldone   Connect with Whitney Whitneysullivan.com Instagram LinkedIn Facebook
