The personal stories
If you’re curious about the personal stories behind The Departure Project and the philosophy underlying it, you’re in the right place. In my newsletter, I’ll take you through my journey: What it took to move on from my startup baby, how I embarked on new projects, and the kind of life I’m building now – along with the whys and hows behind these decisions.

Dinner talk
What makes a good work life?
I’m writing this after coming home from a dinner with friends, and strangely, no one was complaining about their job. No venting, no horror stories about impossible bosses or soul-crushing deadlines. As I sat there, I wondered: Has our rebellious attitude toward work mellowed out? Have we all just been molded into quiet acceptance?
From practice
Leading from Afar
I work in leadership positions but I’m almost never in the office. Some say this sounds impossible. I think it’s the perfect match.
In many of my roles as an interim leader, I’m not in the same city as the company I’m working with, and despite engagements that typically last six months or more, I choose not to relocate. Instead, I work remotely. This approach often raises eyebrows during contract negotiations, with concerns like, “You should be in the office at least twice a month for a few days.”

There is one spot available this fall!

Who Do You Trust to Delete Your Notes App?
I’ve officially retired from the world of pen and paper three or so years ago. Before that I juggled notebooks and sticky notes, but as much as I love the tactile satisfaction of writing by hand, it just never worked for me. My to-dos would vanish into the ether, random thoughts would be lost to the ages.
