• It's Official: A New Direction

    Posted on August 6, 2008 by in Work

    For quite some time now, I have been deep in thought. I’ve pondered my goals, passions, principles… where I am, where I intend to go and where I’ve been.

    Whenever I’m mulling something over, you usually can tell. I am extremely quiet, my preferred playlists include a WHOLE LOT of gospel and smooth jazz, and I write blog posts with a tiny hint of that which is to come.  I’m glad to say that I have come out of that period of deep thought with some clarity and a new direction.

     

    So here’s the official announcement: In a few short weeks, I’ll be transitioning from my current post and joining the Online team at APCO Worldwide

    I’m a little sad to be leaving some awesome co-workers, wondering how the transition from job 1 to 2 will go and extremely excited about working with a great team of people on some amazing online projects! 

    For anyone currently lost in thought, here are a few quotes that may help you find some direction:  

    “You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight”

    - Jim Rohn

    “If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.”

    - Lao Tzu

    “If one advances confidently in the direction of one’s dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

    - Henry David Thoreau

    “There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction”

    - Winston Churchill

    “Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.”

    - Brian Tracy

    James,

    Good luck with everything. Hopefully you’ll take personal time and have a few days in between jobs.
