An amazing thing happened when I left a corporate career after 25 years. It wasn’t the sense of freedom I was longing for, nor was it the immediate surge of creativity because I was no longer shackled by the corporate culture and structures. What was it you ask? I no longer knew who I was. If you had asked me if I defined myself by my job, I would have said absolutely not, I’m not one of those people. And I would have been lying to both of us.
