What a BOLD move - and so liberating! Don't the scales just fall off your eyes about how you were kidding yourself all these years. Hope your course goes brilliantly. Loads of people are crying out for support to do something different :-) Hey Farnoosh – I’m so excited for you. What a BOLD move – and so liberating! Don’t the scales just fall off your eyes about how you were kidding yourself all these years. Hope your course goes brilliantly.

I left my lousy albeit lucrative corporate job in May and every feeling you have here, I did, just with more intensity. You are so calm and poised - I hated everything corporate; I resented the idea; I found it all to be meaningless and disgusting and I found myself to be in a delusion about happiness. Talk about a rude awakening :)! THANK YOU for writing your story!

Well done on having got yourself qualified as an executive coach and in starting to set up your own business. I started to respond to your question and realised that I had a huge list of thoughts I could share. To help me focus them, why not tell me what would be useful for you? Are you thinking about how/when to leave your current job; how to get your business off the ground...? Other things entirely? Let me know and I'll happily share! Best wishes Christine Hi Paul,

Having just sat down and read your story I saw so many similarities, false promises, meaningless visions, total lack of any regard for people ...... I work for xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, we expose customer service and yet fail to do anything at all for the people who have to handle very stressful workloads. Anyway I wanted to reply to you because your situation at American Express happened to me recently and I saw this as just the opportunity I needed. I'm already a qualified executive coach and I'm starting to set up my own business. I assume that you are coaching yourself. Do you have any thoughts that you could share. Christine,
