Almost two years ago, I stood in front of a crowd in Romania at jsheroes and full on broke down (and probably gave the best talk I'll ever give, idk). youtube.com/watch?v=lEQfKWdUHXYPermalink On twitter.com

I was really burnt out. I got sick before the talk because I was so nervous to get up there and drop feelings on everybody. More of this is ad-libbed than you'd think, which is way more intense for me because I'm anxious as shit and literally write full scripts for my talks.On twitter.com

I've had a couple years to reflect on what got me into that headspace. I didn't feel supported. I felt ethically challenged to be at the company I was at. I was a _VERY_ intense people pleaser at the same time.Permalink On twitter.com

I left management after this. For four whole months.Permalink On twitter.com

I couldn't stop diagnosing human problems and I couldn't work through them. I got back into reading books about management again. I got back into taking long walks again. I helped lead a team through a full company turn around. My org is _so good_.Permalink On twitter.com

This career path is rewarding. I'm glad I stuck with it, but every time I have a rough go of a week, I think about where I was mentally when I stood on that stage and what it takes to never get back there again.Permalink On twitter.com

Maybe that'll be what the next talk is about.Permalink On twitter.com
