I was holding out

I was holding out. I didn't want to leave my job at ASU. I wanted to be promoted within forever until I replace President Michael Crow. I fought every step of the way. I love my job at ASU. I love the diversity the position offers me. I manage people and projects, I liaison between the community, I work with charitable, outstanding people, I provide leadership. But it was time.

I have been offered a position as Program Manager with Junior Achievement of Arizona. I will continue to manage people and projects, be a liaison in the community, work with kind, charitable, and outstanding people, and provide leadership just in a different arena. I bet, along the way, I will learn even more than my last position could offer me. I needed a new challenge, a new venue, a new set of colleagues. I only resisted because I was scared. But now that I have made my decision and closed all the doors of potential opportunity so that I can open the one door that does provide opportunity, I am ready.
