Someone I know quit a job after 20 years, then immediately took a contractor role on the same team, in the same building. To him, everything changed. To everyone else, nothing did.
"Leaving corporate" doesn't have to mean never setting foot in an office again or launching a pottery business. For most people in midlife, it's about getting specific on what actually needs to change, not blowing everything up.
The problem is you're probably using someone else's definition of what leaving looks like. Or you've tangled your job so tightly with your identity that the idea of change feels like erasing yourself.
In this episode, I walk through how to figure out your version of leaving, how to separate what you do from who you are, and why the smallest number of changes is the right place to start.
What you'll learn:
Your version of leaving might not look like leaving to anyone else. That's fine. It only has to work for you.
