ending a professional relationship

I am thinking about ending a professional relationship. I have thought about wanting to work with somebody different for a while, but haven’t communicated that/haven’t researched or reached out to a different person yet.

We have had a minor fall out/misunderstanding about an invoice/additional fees in my current partnership now. This could be resolved easily but I’m not sure I want to. Yes, I want to talk about it, so that everyone is on the same page, but I am thinking about ending the cooperation in this conversation because it doesn’t seem like a great fit for me anymore.

Am I making it too easy for me? Or is it just the right time to say “thank you”, and move on?
Am I looking for an excuse not to do this work anymore (I don’t have a replacement yet)? Or will this propel me forward?
Do I have too high expectations about how this relationship should look like?

Thanks for your coaching!

 

 

Answer:

Great questions to answer for yourself! Check in and see if they feel powerful to you and get you closer to your goals and who you want to be.  Are there any other factors playing in to how you’re feeling right now such as health, sleep, your cycle, other stressors or your nervous system? Here are a few more questions to look at when you feel able:

Why do you think your brain wants to end the relationship in the same conversation as getting on the same page?

Why do you think your brain wants to stay stuck in indecision about the relationship?

What’s wrong with doing what’s easy?
