After the Company™
A Soul-Centered Founder Identity, Exit & Transition Toolkit
Honor what ended. Make room for what comes next.
You built something that mattered. When that company sells, closes, changes hands, or continues without you, finding your next step can involve more than a business decision.
After the Company™ offers guided reflection and practical tools for navigating the personal side of founder transition—your identity, relationships, mixed emotions, sense of purpose, and possibilities ahead.
Created by Dr. Maxine Goring-Rodriguez, Ph.D., this SoulCentements™ toolkit draws on the Soul-Centered Mental Wellness Model, with spirituality at the center and four connected dimensions: Healthy Sense of Self, Psychological Flexibility, Perspective, and Daily Maintenance.
Use this toolkit to:
-
Separate your worth from your title and the company’s outcome.
-
Make room for grief, relief, pride, disappointment, and uncertainty.
-
Recognize the skills, values, and relationships you carry forward.
-
Choose language and boundaries for transition conversations.
-
Identify support and explore your next chapter at your own pace.
