← All farewell messages“I cannot overstate the difference your guidance has made to my confidence and career. You took the time to explain not just what to do, but why it mattered. Thank you for opening doors and modeling what thoughtful leadership looks like.”
“Thank you for the years of counsel that nobody ever required you to give. You were generous with time you did not have, and specific in moments when vague encouragement would have been far easier. I hope to be that useful to someone else one day.”
“You changed how I approach this whole job, mostly by asking better questions than I was asking. Thank you. I will be borrowing them for the rest of my career.”
“You once told me I was solving the wrong problem, in front of people, and you were right. I have thought about that more than any praise I have had here. Thank you, and good luck.”
“The things you taught me have since been taught by me to three other people, none of whom know where any of it came from. That seems like the right measure of a mentor. Thank you.”
“As you leave, I want to record my thanks for the guidance you have given over several years. It was consistently practical, occasionally uncomfortable, and always offered in good faith. I wish you well.”
“Thank you for the time you never had and gave anyway. Good luck with the next one.”
“With you gone I lose access to roughly four years of free consultancy, which I have clearly been under-valuing. Congratulations on the move, and thank you for all of it.”
