Last time, I chatted with Karen Chi (link to interview here), who talked to us about the winding journey of leaving her leadership roles at LinkedIn and Cameo to take time off and figure out what she really wanted to do.
There are so many great nuggets in this piece! This was my favorite:
"Karen specifically mentioned that some of her fear to try something new was rooted in the fact that most of her network was not doing anything similar. By spending time with people who shared her same interests, she gained enough confidence to continue her new path."
It's really isolating when we take the road less traveled. Self-doubt lurks around every corner. Every time I talk to others doing the same thing as me, I feel better about my situation.
Right!? And what's awesome about your NL and support in particular is that it's helped me feel so much less alone as I launch this project talking about setbacks. So thank you :)
