Is change happening TO you? Or FOR you?
Your answer matters.
So many of my clients are grappling with the churn of change…
Market forces trigger a pivot.
A beloved project ends abruptly.
A tight team is split and merged with others.
It feels like starting all over…again.
And it’ll probably happen again within a year. Or sooner.
Like these geese, we often aim for (and deeply desire) a direct path in our work and careers. But there is so much that is out of our control.
And, straight-path jobs and careers don’t exist much anymore. That’s not the world we live in.
🌟The people who thrive today are those who embrace change, seeing it as there to:
Challenge us
Strengthen our resolve
Build resilience
Teach us invaluable lessons
It's all about mindset. When we view change as a force that's happening for us, not to us, we transform our experiences into powerful growth opportunities.
🌱 So, the next time you face a sudden shift in your work or career path, ask how you can make this change work for you. You might be surprised by what opens up.
