What is missing
I’ve been through my own version of this.
I’ve been through my own version of this. I spent 14 years in tech, moving from recruitment into leadership roles, eventually becoming Head of DevOps.
From the outside, it looked like a perfectly respectable career. And for a while, it was. For years, I played that game too: perform competence, survive the week, collect the paycheck, tell yourself it will all make sense later.

What changes when you move
The script you know
🦊 The shift
By all logical standards, things are fine. So why am I not?

Who do I think I am? Maybe I should just be grateful and stop overcomplicating things.

I realized how much the changes at work had unsettled me and affected my motivation. Our conversation helped me calm down and stop thinking of missed opportunities
Giada
I realized recently that I was working against myself and my strengths. I had decided my characteristics were defects and were there to sabotage me <...> however if flipped and looked at through a positive light, they could be seen as strengths too
Anna
(I've learned) Strengths I didn't know I had. Dismantled uncertain and vague fears onto manageable pieces, sorted them so that I could see what I can influence and what I can not.
