This is the final article in our series following our recent Career Change webinar in which Karen and I shared tips to overcome the 5 key mistakes people make when faced with redundancy or career change.
The fifth mistake that we discussed was “the mistake that leaves you feeling undervalued”. Because you are going through so many conflicting thoughts and feelings, you may well hide these from the people around you. To reveal yourself to colleagues or employers may be seen as a sign of weakness, and have unintended consequences. Even if you do share your thoughts with those close to you, your partner or close friends, they will not be able to truly empathise with what you are going through. One very senior executive who registered for our Career Transition webinar asked if his wife could participate too, “so she can understand what I’m dealing with right now”.
The remedy for this is to build a support system around you so that you can respond positively to the changes ahead. When you have someone who will hold your vision for you and believe in you, it redoubles your strength to take the necessary steps, knowing that you are not alone, and knowing that you have people to turn to who will support you at every stage.
This is exactly why we designed our programme called “From Crisis To Clarity in 50 Days” – so that Karen and I can provide you with that support mechanism, reinforced by the peer support of other people who are going through the same programme with you. We will keep you focused on your long-term vision, and on the short-terms steps that will get you there in the most effective way.
