New Beginnings
Friday 1st January 2016
My reflections on time off between roles and starting a fresh career.
When I decided to leave BT Global Services to start a fresh career, I was determined to take some time to do absolutely nothing first.
Decompression time between careers has been a brilliant experience for me and I heartily endorse an extended break - detached from mailbox, calendar, phone and messaging - to anyone who is fortunate enough to be able to engineer it.
With an empty calendar and inbox comes a fizz of energy and amazing clarity of thought. My mind (once it got through its no-tech, cold turkey phase) was brimming with possibilities, cogs were spinning, connecting the things I really wanted to do, with the things I'm really good at.
So, I am thrilled to announce my new business - Grey Sells Associates Ltd - a consulting business focussed on helping its clients to develop and embed Account Management & Account Selling expertise with their client-facing teams.
We're up and running since the start of 2016, and I am excited about starting new client engagements, helping them to apply their grey cells to develop and protect their crucial sales accounts.
Look out for more news and a new website to follow shortly. Or contact me directly, comment on or share this post to start a new dialogue now.
All the best for an exciting 2016.
