from Vera, who is learning about blogging
quote from Richard Branson:
“There is no one to follow, there is nothing to copy.” Life is always fresh and new. We are always on the leading edge, and the successes of the future will not rely on old ways of doing things. Thinking outside the box, embracing change, innovating, taking risks — these are the hallmarks of success in all facets of life.

last 10--is that like losing the last 10 pounds?
I titled the blog "last 10" referring to my last ten months at EY, but realize it sounds like the proverbial "hard-to-lose last ten pounds"! In a way it is a good analogy. It is a loss. It will have its ups and downs. It will be hard and we will have to be deliberate.
I haven't begun to think about what I need to "shed". To be honest, I don't know where to begin. I'm unconsciously competent at this stage and have been operating in this mode for so long, it's automatic. I've asked Janice to review old activity reports and start a list of questions, but all that seems so tactical. Is that all that goes into successful transition--the tactical--the WHAT I do? How much of the HOW do I try to pass on versus letting her find her own way there. I really mean it when I say that I don't want her to to replicate. I want her to create. So, how do I best help her do that?

Congratulations to Janice! So happy that she is my successor. She suggested I blog over the next ten months to capture our learning. Joint effort, my friends!
