I read an article today saying that my old bosses are retiring, well to be exact, it said they were taking a step back, to make way for a new and younger generation of creative managers. I am happy and sad as well.
Happy that my friends are being given a chance to move up, prove themselves, face new challenges and grow from them. Happy the agency feels the need to grow, change and morph into something new and hopefully more powerful.
Sad I guess, because although I left the agency some 7 months ago, in more ways than one, I still consider it home. I had the privilege of working closely with at least two of the agency's partners, but I am happy to say I learnt something different from all three. If I can call myself a professional today, it's because they gave me the opportunity to grow, nurtured my curiosity and fed me with ever more difficult challenges.
I recently read somewhere that when caterpillars morph into a butterfly, at the cocoon stage - if you were to open the cocoon - there is nothing but goo. I guess it takes a lot of energy to create real, pervasive change and create something truly beautiful. Something that can generate a butterfly effect. For those of you not familiar with the concept, the theory goes that something as delicate as the flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a tremendous ripple effect on the other side of the world.
I know this may sound like rambling to some of you, but I had to get this of my chest. So to my friends and former bosses, I wis 'Bon vent' (french for may the wind always be in your back).
