Oh I so feel this! Also hi new subscriber here :) You describing the role you had that you were excited about and the culture not matching what you were sold reminds me a lot of my experience at this French company I joined for 2-3 months when I first moved to Paris. It was beyond awful and made me rethink a lot of myself, but it led to a lot of beautiful changes when I look back now. Wishing you all the best as you enter this new season 🤍
oh thank you, Shana. I suppose what I went through is quite a common experience, and I’ve just been spoilt by a great experience in my last job for 5 years that I forgot that a great company (culture) is rare. Happy to hear your testimonial from the other side now. Every ounce of growth comes from discomfort, right?
Hi Joei! I’m a random follower of your insta, just wanna leave a comment. I actually listened to your podcast episode on accidentally being a manager after I accidentally became a manager. It was helpful and I am glad to know what I was going through was so common and normal. From your rich experience in building content and connection within a team, I’m interested to know more about your experience in building vision and mission, because it is such a difficult task not being discussed enough.
Feels so good to hear you’re listening to your heart and keeping it alive! Excited to hear more from you. Sending love from the opposite side of the Earth. God loves you, I love you too.
Shook from the inside out. An inspiration to me, as I definitely feel that compartmentalization, and so much identity carved out of work life. It is very powerful to hear your perspective as a fellow marketer in a continuous state of growth.
Thank you so much, Virginia. I’m just getting started (so we’ll see!) but after going through a season of deep misalignment, I’ve been craving realness, authenticity, and being true to myself. It reminded me that none of it matters if I don’t feel aligned with myself.
And I really believe the more we let ourselves show up as we actually are, the better our work gets, and the more irreplaceable we become. Like…a category of one 😉
I could yap about this all day (and probably will in another post, lol.)
Keep up the great work! Following from the the company that "walked it's talk" & I could almost hear your voice when I read "If that sounds good to you, I’d love for you to stick around. If not, no hard feelings"
