What Was I Thinking…Literally

It was April 10th when something was gnawing at me.  Things were changing in my professional world.  Health Care Reform was going to hit the industry and it was time for the focus of our Company to change gears.  I was all prepared for that…and not really sure what being prepared really meant.

We were gearing up for a new Training program to be presented to our field force.  The Company had changed, the agenda had changed, the logistics changed and through it all, this was going to be stability.  When I was reviewing the changes in the agenda, I started to feel that what was once our mainstay was going to take a back seat to where we needed to be.  Along with that came my realization that I may not be bringing the same value as I once did.  While everyone tells me that wasn’t/isn’t the case, that was my perception and that to me made it real.

I knew there would be reductions in home office personnel and even though I didn’t think my name was on the list yet, I felt that it would be at some point in the not so distant future.  I decided that this would probably be the right time to make a move.  But what was I moving to?  That was the million dollar question.  I struggled with that for about a week and even though I couldn’t answer that question 100%, I knew it was time.
