Leaving a company has 3 moments of truth.
The First Moment of Truth (FMOT), when after months of chewing on the thought of leaving and feeling around its taste on your tongue; you finally digest it in your mind. Its a simple click when everything seems to fall in place and a blinding clarity reveals itself.
The Second Moment of Truth (SMOT) is when you make the leap from thought to words. When you translate your decision into an action. Sitting across your manager and telling him its off is like a load off your chest. Now, its out there and now it will happen.
The Third Moment of Truth (TMOT) is your farewell party. Its the ceremony that completes the transition. Farewell speeches are signposts. They indicate a turn where you leave behind the past and face a new future.
