Thank you for being so authentic Derrick 💙. I've been through a turbulent career transition myself, and I resonate with a lot of the struggles and challenges you faced. But I'm glad you had these experiences, because they informed you of your later passions. Following your heart always beats following your head, especially when your head is so often wrong. Hey since you love creating space for connection, mind doing me a favor? Can you find one person that you think I'd get along with and make me an intro? I'd super appreciate it. Other than that, I hope you continue to lean into what feels good to you. Because that's what matters. Onwards and upwards!
Wow, I love this piece. So glad I finally had a chance to read it.
I also want "A world where we’re all fully appreciated, seen, and valued for our individual gifts." And I believe that doing something (in this case, offering skills in the workplace) that doesn't light something up inside of our hearts is a waste of resources.
I also have never stayed at a job long. So, I deeply resonated with that portion! 😂 These days, I find that I enjoy contracts more - I can do some work for a company without getting too attached to it or having any expectations around co-workers. But, of course, I'd love to be hold ceremonies full time ... so I'm slowly trying to transition into that.
