Real Hope and Change

Due to the current administration's ineptness, it appears the phrase "Hope and Change" has lost its luster. Well, for myself this is not the case.

Last Wednesday I opened up and told all 150 of my fellow employees that I was giving my 2 month notice and resigning from my position as Vice President of Finance. This was the compilation of a process that started about six months ago when I informed the CEO and my boss of my plans. One of my direct reports will be taking over as Controller effective October 1st, ending a 12 year stint with the company. This was a shock to many, but the support I received was overwhelming. They were genuinely happy for me and told me I would be a success in whatever I did. Thank you very much!!

So what am I doing? In just 2 short months I will be doing consulting for my current employer working in collections and pursuing a career in the health field. Where this will take me, no one knows. But I can tell you I will enjoy it! I plan on working with "Big Corporate" as an EAP (employee assistance provider) that is able to work with people on a physical (training), mental (career development) and spiritual (however much they want to).

I am nowhere near as good of personal trainer as Adam T Glass; nor am I in the late Peter Drucker's league as a businessman. And I am definitely not a saintly person who walks on water. But I honestly believe I can get a better result than anyone when it comes to these three disciplines. Balance in the three areas of physical/mental/spiritual is paramount in my opinion. To be truly happy these have to be in unison and working like a well oiled machine!

So if you know anyone that needs "Hope and Change", please have them give me a shout via e-mail at topnotch@wh-link.net and follow me on this blog or my website at www.topnotch-health.com. Hope to see you "online."
