Knowing when to walk away with power intact.                                                                                                                                                                                                          
| | | | |  |  |  |  |  Beginnings are often celebrated. Endings are often feared. Yet the way you exit…from a deal, a partnership, a position, or even a conversation…can be as defining as the way you began. Weakness clings. Strength releases.  |  |  An exit done with dignity communicates that you are never trapped. It reveals that you are sovereign over your choices, that you are guided by principle rather than bound by circumstance. This is why the ability to walk away is one of the purest demonstrations of power.  |  |  Consider the negotiator who rises from the table when terms no longer serve them. Consider the professional who departs an organization at their peak, leaving their reputation untarnished. Consider the individual who leaves a relationship without resentment, preserving respect. Each of these exits strengthens rather than diminishes.  |  |  Exiting well requires clarity. It requires knowing your thresholds, defining your values, and refusing to compromise them. It also requires courage…because endings can be misunderstood, criticized, or resisted. But time reveals their wisdom.  |  |  Do not fear endings. Fear the erosion that comes from overstaying. The art of exit is not loss. It is preservation. It is the proof that you remain in control.  |  |  Your coach,  |  |  -James Michael Sama  |  |  P.S.: If you're looking for a private advisor to help you develop these qualities, let's talk.  |  |  |
