Sally had developed a successful career in banking where she had gained great respect as well as recognition for her significant achievements, but was feeling frustrated. She had been approached with a beguiling offer from a start-up and was not sure whether she wanted to leap at this opportunity and switch to an entirely new field or maintain her current, secure career path. Sally was finding it difficult to see the different opportunities and choices clearly. She was under pressure from family and friends to stay in a secure role but was tempted by the intellectual and cultural challenges and young and vibrant environment that the new opportunity held. After attending the Rutbusters ‘know what you want’ workshop where she had been able to share her thoughts with an independent peer group, she was able to see the choices very clearly and decided to make the radical change. The start-up is flourishing, her role as the wise/grey hair is really satisfying, she is thriving on learning a new setting and she is hoping for significant financial success too as the company takes off.
