What about now ?

Hor | Host CreativeMornings/Montréal
More than 2 years ago now, I took the lead of our wonderful chapter of CreativeMornings/Montréal. 2 years later, I am elsewhere in my life. We went through a pandemic, I changed my job, I discovered other ambitions that I hadn’t seen coming and I have other projects in mind.
And it is precisely because I am elsewhere that I am no longer the best person to lead CreativeMornings/Montréal.
I have been part of the CreativeMornings family since January 2018. It has been 4 years since I joined MTLCM where I started as chief of breakfast, to discover and highlight the breakfast entrepreneurs of our city. Then I took over as chief of staff and officially started taking care of the team at that point. In the meantime, I took great care of the influence and visibility of our events, and gradually prepared my entry as a host. I am very proud of my CreativeMornings journey, of my evolution within the organization, but also of my own evolution as a person.
Since then, I believe that there is nothing that I have not done within MTLCM.
I became too comfortable in my organization. And it is precisely because I am too comfortable that I am no longer the best person to lead CreativeMornings/Montréal.
I’m not afraid of anything anymore. Trying new things has become easy. Readjusting our events has become predictable (thanks Covid). Improvising has become my monthly appointment.
There is one thing I haven’t done yet: find my replacement.
I grew up. I have learned. I let go.
I love the person CreativeMornings made me become.
I love everything that I have been able to experience through our mission, the people I have met, who trusted me and in whom I also believed.
But it is time to leave my place and leave the opportunity to someone else and I would be delighted to discover and support this new person.
In May 2022, after our #CMnow conference, I announced that I was leaving CreativeMornings/Montréal no later than May 2023, for our 10-year anniversary. I gave myself a year to prepare for the post-pandemic chapter, recruit and transfer to new team organizers and find a new host to take over MTLCM.
And that’s it, here we are 😊:
