Knowing when to quit | Sarah Weiler | TEDxNewnham

[bagobeans]

The strongest people are those who know themselves and know their limitations, and know when it's time to walk away from it all. That takes courage.

Hi all, Sarah Weiler the speaker here! Thanks for all your kind comments. Wanted to share that since doing the talk I've now got a podcast called Knowing When to Quit and a Quitting Quadrant framework (on Medium) to help you too.

Lots of love from India.
I just resigned 2 days back. Now I am feeling powerful. This energy I have never realized earlier.
I quit with a plan. To serve people by giving knowledge of investing. Its so nobel work i will be doing, I am proud of that.
I planned 4 years back to quit. I gained knowledge and experiance. Now I am free. This feeling is so intense.

There's a difference between quitting because you're unhappy and quitting because things get hard.

[ZanaKeyma]

This was so powerful and amazing. Thank you.

[lifeshots]

Left my job today ... and found this .. beautiful coincidence ;)

[harmylie]

This woman is incredible, and her speech a blessing. It made me cry. Thank you ❤️❤️

[burkesbuoyancyaid]

beautiful talk Sarah - "I asked my feet what they wanted to do." Listening to the body, listening to the heart...

[sherylm.franks]

Wow! That was awesome! The part where "the leaves don't ask permission to fall", really struck me. Thank you!

I just want to say that I watched this video while thinking about quitting a poorly paid job where I got burnout. I was scared of not being able to pay my rent. But I made a plan and quit. Now, I'm happily working in a place where I've found love for public service (and earning double). My advice: Trust your gut and make a plan first; then, when you have a new job (even ifi it's just a transitional one), do it. Love yourself. No one must teat you poorly, not even yourself.

[shinyshinythings]

Thank you. I too am of the “I’m not a quitter” stripe, but the closer I get to 60, the more I want to invest my time into the things that mean the most to me.

[projectlove]

I love this! What a powerful message and I have NEVER seen a TED talk start with a song! Amazing!

[shawvick]

One of the best Ted x talks I've ever seen 🎉🎉

[brisagega]

One of my favourite TEDtalks ever. Perfectly done and correctly said.😍

[MsGenXodus]

A coworker who had been with the company for 13 years quit without notice yesterday at the end of her shift. As much as I wanted to be a team player and "step up" to taking on more work until someone else can be hired, all I could feel was envy.

I wanted her to sneak me out of the building and take me with her.

[Lila-lcwd]

AHHH this was the best ted talk i ever watched, i loved the analogy, the talking style, the music and the singing, love it all. What a brilliant woman. Thank u so much. You’ll be remembered.

[zijing]

I think this is all I needed.
I was too ashamed to quit. I thought if I hang on it'd work out somehow. But my body says no. It tells me to quit.

[yolandapeiris]

Wow, does this Lady know how to put things into perspective, she is really intelligent and this is one of the Best Talks on Ted, I've seen.
She truly speaks sense about what still serves me

[ncamisilengcongca]

I’ve been visiting this talk more often, gathering courage to leave my current job. Am I miserable enough to go down that route? I am past miserable, even my family is starting to catch it!

[karenhedges]

Brilliant! It's so true; one does need to stand still and listen to the answer. I went from being a crushed grape to wine when I did this in 2008 :-)
