Chapman Moore's story is one of triumph that started in 2002, an unforgettable year for him. It was the year he was let go and the year where change began, and he embarked on a journey leading to a new career.
After being let go from Morgan Stanley, where he was a project manager in investment banking's information technology in e-business - because of the economic downturn - he began the long process of figuring out what to do, what his strengths were and how to get into his next career.
'In a way I felt I was lucky to be treated well at that time but I didn't know what to do,' he said.
He took a few months off and was able to do things he had not had the time to do and put life into perspective.
'I went to get my computer fixed and I even got a personal coach at the gym,' he said.
And, after 18 months, he found a similar job but soon realised that it was not quite what he was looking for. It took him three years to change to a new career selling technologies back to banks as opposed to being the buyer.
'I became a seller,' he said. 'The whole period of job hunting instilled in me networking and selling capabilities so I was prepared for this new career.'
