I was fuming. I stomped from the meeting room, committed GBH on the lift buttons, then stormed out of the building.

“AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGHHHH!” I screamed. Steam was coming out of my ears. How could they be so disrespectful!

How dare they treat me so shabbily! Noone was ever going to do that to me again. “AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! I screamed again. That was it. That was the last job interview I was ever going to.

And so that was it. My corporate career was over, and I was going to ‘do my own thing’ -

I wasn’t unusual in my situation. I’d had over 20 years in corporate and now I had to reinvent face this challenge in mid-life; how to rise, phoenix-like, from the ashes of their corporate career.

I was about to embark on my own version of ‘The Hero’s Journey’. Little did I know it was going to be rather more Mr. Bean than Luke Skywalker.

“I was disconnected from my spirit, and now my spirit was calling me back to it.”
