The lowest point of my career came three years ago.
I was running my executive search company while scaling my investment firm into an enterprise with multiple arms. The pressure was on to assemble the right team while also being present for my young family at home. Then, a junior employee whom I’d mentored abruptly left the business, using our company contacts to set up with another firm. Another key member of my team -- a friend I’d hired as a favor -- was spending more time doing yoga at work than making sales.
