Is it "just business" or a loving family?
I don't know about you but I have trouble separating personal, business and family relationships. After two amazing years of helping to shape a brand and build a foundation of new business growth with much success, it became ironically clear that moving on to another career challenge is what I need to do. I will not pretend there is no pain in this. I'm rocked by tears of sadness over leaving my "family" at Big Hit Media. There come also the other emotions of anticipation, excitement, and hope stemming from the the opportunities that await me in a new position.
I'd like to share the announcement that my dear friend and colleague wrote about my departure from his company: A Special Farewell Note

"If there is one consistent business lesson I have to learn (and relearn) it is that change is inevitable! When Big Hit Media first began in 2004, we were strictly a digital studio focused on design and animation. Since then we've grown significantly - like a child going from infancy to 6-years old, sometimes I can hardly believe the growth and change!
"This certainly has not been the journey of just one person, but a team of dedicated and talented professionals. Not the least of whom is Chuck Sink, Executive Vice President of the firm. Chuck has been pivotal in the rise of Big Hit Media from a small, specialty website design company, to a full-service communications firm. Chucks salesmanship and marketing expertise have helped to shape the Big Hit Media brand.
"In keeping with the unpredictable nature of business, and life, we must say "farewell" to Chuck. My dear friend and talented colleague will be leaving Big Hit Media as of Friday February 12th. This split cannot be construed as negative for either party. Big Hit Media continues to be a vibrant and healthy company, while Chuck pursues his dreams and new goals elsewhere.
"I personally have nothing but the highest regard for Chuck - he will always be part of the Big Hit Media family and my family. I know continued success awaits Chuck in all his future endeavors." -Scot Villeneuve
WOW, am I bowled over with emotion over this! It's not simply a job change. It's a painful separation from the full-time collaboration I've been enjoying with some of my closest friends. Not easy!
For me the notion of "nothing personal, just business" is an ideal not easily achieved. As a human being with all the emotional trappings, I'm ill equipped to build firewalls. However, I do understand and can accept that economic and social realities may be at odds and we must be ethical, mature and professional about it.
Okay, I've shared my human side and now it's time to move on and forge ahead with a new team and a fantastic business. For those interested I'm joining Wedu in Manchester on Monday, February 15, 2010. I look forward to sharing many future updates with you!
