New solutions in progress
The way work fits our lives has changed. We find many more options than generations before us, even in uncertain times. If we just actually knew which direction to take.
Here, I write about longer careers over a full lifetime. Practical perspectives with lightness. To challenge views about how work and careers unfold, for how long. To gather ideas that you might try for yourself as you navigate forward.
How many of us really knew what we wanted when we started? Or how it would go in reality?
We might as well figure it out – how to deal with unexpected transitions. See if we can make it easier and more effective by lightening it up a little. Serious on the facts; playful and kind towards ourselves as humans. Realizing we are in it together.
Expect the unexpected
As I build this collection, I will throw in some little things on the side that you may not expect. Stuff that inspires me. Visuals, humor, quirky ways to come at the topic. Isn’t that the way life goes anyway?
Sometimes a smile is just the thing to inspire a human pivot. To remember and feel our souls like a child. When a “eureka” would come upon us in moment. And we actually listened.
Built on years of intrigue about change and how we figure out our destinations
Somewhere back in time, I observed that professional change makes us uncomfortable to the point of avoidance, yet often unlocks great growth and potential. I took that idea to the mountains once on a holiday and outlined a my style of how to make it better: Modern Careers: What’s Your Strategy?. We hosted it in our Zurich studio or with customers directly. I always loved that facilitation.
We all feel a sense of renewal when finding ways to handle the unexpected better than imagined. I want that little person-by-person impact to be part of my legacy. You can find more about it on our web site if interested.
Meanwhile, read here and consider:
One can apply the serious-yet-open-even-playful mindset positively to other aspects of life’s transitions. And to our roles as a leader.
I am sure you can do it, as well!
