I have no idea how to explain this week’s podcast. Basically, I became very anxious about telling a client I could no longer work with them, overprepared, lost sleep, and made the “perfect” plan. I forgot that a plan means nothing if the other person reacts differently than you expect them to react. Ultimately, my goal in this situation was to be a professional until the very end.

In this episode:

Black Lives Matter. Racism and police brutality must come to an end. Links to some resources to learn more below.
In a couple of episodes, I’ve talked about endings and feeling muddled.
Recently I took action and ended a working relationship with a client.
I made a plan and executed it.
But I didn’t get the outcome I expected.
Ultimately, behaving like a professional is the best course of action — most of the time.
