We have all, at some point, entertained the notion of changing careers. Feeling burned out at work, unfulfilled, or just plain unhappy with whatever we're doing, we long to reinvent ourselves on a new career path. But how do we make this transition successfully?
On October 31, Herminia Ibarra will join us to present a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of possible "selves" that we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures.
With examples of people in different stages of a career transition, Ibarra will identify the three critical strategies—experiment with new professional activities and identities, interact in new networks of people, and make sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities—that all successful career changers use.
I hope you can join us!
