Saying goodbye

I usually HATE saying goodbye - I always find it super awkward which is why I generally sneak out of parties when I’m ready to leave. However, this goodbye was necessary for everyone and I’m happy I didn’t just slip silently out the back door.

This week has been full of goodbyes. I had a leaving party on Wednesday with most of the talent we manage. I had my last day in the office on Thursday with the team including a final team meal. And today (Friday), I shared the announcement of me leaving on my Instagram and LinkedIn.

The response has surprised me. I don’t deem myself to be someone who is particularly important/significant in other people’s lives. I don’t say that in a negative way either, I just feel that most things I do aren’t a big deal, I help people because that’s what people should do.

The incredibly kind and thoughtful messages, cards and emails I’ve received from, not only my team and talent, but people I didn’t even know were watching me. It’s nice to know that you’ve impacted people’s lives positively. The team gave me a book of photos from the last 4 years and my mum suggested that I print out the emails I received from our talent so I can keep them, along with my cards, and have something to read if I’m ever feeling unsure about my impact on other people.
