Managing a Successful Career Change

Managing Career Changes will teach you how to manifest your career vision into reality with a strategic approach to manage your career change and ensure you are moving forward.  Nobody likes career changes—but did you know that the average person changes his/her career more than 7 times in their lifetime?

CHANGES ARE INEVITABLE

As your work and personal circumstances change, you may self-reflect, assess the situation, and make course corrections. You might want to switch lanes to a job that better suits your skill sets or because of challenges like moving to a new place, or health issues. While at times unpleasant, these changes are the basis for career and personal progression.

TRANSITIONS ARE PERSONAL

For some individuals, the transition may be voluntary as they consciously make the decision to make a change. The mental preparation for a change may start years before taking the first step.  For others, a transition can be involuntary as organizations downsize or move jobs overseas, seeing employee retrenchment. The latter is often difficult for individuals and their families. If left unchecked, the stress can have an adverse impact on an individual’s psychological well-being, resulting in a loss of confidence and self-esteem.
