We’re living and working through some of the most difficult times of our lives. Not only are we individually and collectively moving through the complexities of a global pandemic, we are also in a moment of great decision about where we’ll go from here. We are standing at the intersection of several choices, including going back to what we know (or at least trying to) and choosing to transform an entire culture. Many of us are eagerly awaiting the return of a pre-pandemic life, while others of us have fully accepted that things will never be the same.
About a month ago, I wrote a blog post entitled The Hardest Job I Ever Had. I have to admit that I was unprepared for the outpouring of emails and phone calls from CEOs and EDs that followed. They told me how the article resonated with them, recounted the variety of activities they do on a daily basis, and talked about their feelings of isolation. They also offered great advice. So, this post is dedicated to sharing their words.
My first-grade son was recently asked to make a Venn diagram for class. I am pretty sure I did not know what a Venn diagram was until college, but I digress.
With respect to work, I am what author Po Bronson calls a journeyer in his book What Should I Do with My Life? For me, that has meant pursuing several different – and at the time, fulfilling – careers. These include having spent significant time as a management consultant, information technology director, retail store owner, commercial freelance writer, nonprofit executive director, and now as a consultant in the nonprofit and philanthropy sectors.
