I am a popular counselor in my office (had as many as 5 at once) but I’ve also had people drop me. I do not take it personally. It’s your career, do what’s best for you. I think most get that.

Make arrangements with the new coach ahead of time. Present it to an old coach in a best possible light. Tell them that you appreciate all of the help along the way and maybe give them the reasons why you think the new coach will be better positioned to help. Stress that you are grateful for everything they did for you. It is done all the time and pretty routine.

In my office, I’ve heard many managers stress that they don’t take it personally. Good communication will be your friend, and I doubt you will burn any bridges!

...and if it would negatively impact my career progression here. Has anyone else done this? How did it work out for you? Thanks!

If my lawyer sent a document with my signature on my behalf to the judge/investigator before I was ready for them to and didn’t notify me till several hours later when I asked when the final doc would go be ready for me to review, should I be upset? I was not copied or bcc’d on the email so I feel like this is unacceptable but not sure what lawyers usually do.

A lot of folks, this bowl included, are getting a reality check at the moment, which i think is good for learning experiences. Can’t call yourself an “investor” but the second you see a position fall +20-30% start to question or panic sell. However, if this is you, and your equity position was initiated off a whim or a blind recommendation, I struggle to feel any sympathy lol especially if you were someone buying stocks (MGNI for example) when they were approaching ATH
