HODA KOTB HAD HER DREAM JOB THEN DECIDED TO WALK AWAY

|The Craftsmanship Issue
The former TODAY show co-anchor discusses how turning 60 changed her perspective of what's possible personally and professionally. And why you need a “mini plan” before you quit anything.
When did you start thinking about leaving the TODAY show?
It was something that was nestled in the way-back of my mind, and especially with my kids and the ages they are, I thought about it on days that were long or days that I missed things. When you’re in love with something, it’s like, why would you ever break up with someone you’re in love with? It doesn’t make any sense to do that. But I realized that there are phases of life, and the TODAY show and NBC has been my longest relationship of any I’ve ever had. I wanted to see what kind of possibilities were available to me beyond this incredible job.
Someone put it to me this way: “When you choose to jump, you have to be able to imagine yourself on the other side. You can’t just fling off of a cliff and go, Yay, I hope it’s amazing.” I was imagining myself on the other side. After working at NBC for 26 years, it really hit me clearly on my 60th birthday. It was like a rocket ship. I looked outside, I looked out at the plaza, and I just knew. This is the mountaintop. This is the top of the wave. I’ve reached the pinnacle. And I just knew. I thought to myself, It’s time for the next wave, whatever it is.
What made you think there’s another chapter for you?
