I’ve just returned from a month-long honeymoon, which was a breath of fresh air. The past two years at Bright Green Talent have been some of the most rewarding…and exhausting.
Upon returning, I’ve settled into the reality that two of our superstars on the team — Carolyn and Raj — have moved on. It’s humbling to work with such shining stars, and a stark reminder of how much you lean on talented colleagues when they’re finally gone.
Which brings me to what happens “when you’re not looking.” Being away for a month, I was pleasantly surprised to see that BGT continues to click on. Business has slowed, but we’ve seen a few placements and been reminded of how we can help others.
For those who continue to seek a more meaningful career — either through forced unemployment or while still working, I thought it worth reminding folks of how important it is to let your mind wander at times, think big thoughts about your future, and remember what we’re all working for. Though not always welcome, a bit of space from the working world can often be the very thing we need most.
Now, here’s to getting back to the grind.
