Very good tips. Growing, find out what readers need it’s important. I also working on many different subjects to see what is catching.

First, spend some time thinking about, journaling about what you would like to do next. It is one thing to end your career of 9 years, but if you don’t have a road map you may find yourself walking in circles for the next couple of years.

Second, once you have some ideas about what you want to do next, develop a plan. Create an exit strategy, create a re-entry strategy into the next thing you want to do.

Third, DON’T burn any bridges. You have been in the organization or industry for 9 years. Use the relationships to help transition you. You don’t know who those people are connected to (LinkedIn). Once you have made your exit, stay in contact with people from the organization/industry. I am sure there are at least 3 or 4 people you have developed relationship with.. stay in contact with them.

Lastly, Growth is important and I hear beyond the words you have written, a need, a desire to grow. What does that look like? Are you looking to grow in your skills and abilities? Are you looking for more responsibility? Determine where the desire is and ensure that you create space for the desire to grow in your plan for “what’s next.” I am happy to chat more if you would like to speak to me.
