This is the first thing that I told my now-wife when we started dating:

“If we ever broke up, I just want to walk away, with my head held high, and the satisfaction that I made everything possible to be the best version of me for you”

Thankfully, this philosophy didn't just win her over; it has helped sustain our marriage for nearly two decades.

But I was not playing, That is the way I have been tackling my life since a long time ago.

I do my best, I give my all, I work as hard as possible to make things happen, either in personal or professional life.

This approach has helped me in moments when I have decided to quit and pursue another job.

I don’t know if you are like me, but in 99% of the cases I’ve felt stressed, anxious and in panic when I informed my bosses that I was moving to a new opportunity.

It has been awkward, at the very least.

However, since the first days of my career, I realized that when you are leaving a job there should be no remorse if you gave your all.

Here are my reasons:

• Fulfillment of Duties: If you gave everything (or more) that you were paid for, you already fulfilled your duties.
• Opportunity for Retention: If you gave your employer the opportunity keep you in the organization by paying you better and recognize your contribution, and they did not act on time, you already fulfilled your duties.
• Support Through Ups and Downs: If you helped the company in the high and low moments without asking anything in exchange, you already fulfilled your duties.

If you answered yes to these 3 sentences, you are emotionally free to keep pursuing better conditions and opportunities for yourself.

A ‘no” to any, of all, of those lines won’t stop you to go to another place, but you might face some remorse for not giving your best to your team and your employer.

Furthermore, having the certainty that you did everything you needed to do and more, is almost a recipe to leave the doors open (because you never know).

All this is crucial in an industry like ours were references are gold. but it's crucial not to burn bridges. Always aim to leave doors open, because you never know when you might need to revisit old connections.

This mindset will not only help you manage the stress of the resignation conversation but will ensure peace of mind, knowing you've handled everything professionally.

One more thing

Never tolerate emotional extortion when you are leaving a job. You have to put yourself and your family first.

3 sports productions I am watching this week:

To lighten the mood, here’s a glimpse of what I’m watching this week:

1. The NHL play-offs. Not only because my team is there (Go Panthers!) but because the production level is excellent and some of the shots are out of this world.
2. The NFL Draft: When someone takes a boring moment and transform it into a massive production, there is something to learn. That is what ESPN and the NFL have done with this player selection moment.
3. The NWSL coverage. There are different players creating the feeds for the games in the best women’s league in the world. Each one has a different approach, but it is good to see the quality and investment that is behind these matches that years ago were covered with one or 2 cameras the most.
