Repurpose Your Career - 5 Steps to your Next Career Pivot
Whether you are a Baby Boomer, Gen Xer or Millennial retirement like your parents had is no longer a possibility for most. Everyone will have to go through career changes or Career Pivots. This webinar will focus on 5 Steps to a Career Pivot Step 1 Know Thyself. Take time to understand your core needs like autonomy, creativity and your own definition of a good team. Use past jobs to point to what you love and hate. Many Baby Boomers and Gen Xers have morphed into versions of themselves in order to fit comfortably in corporate America so that they really don’t know themselves anymore. Spend time crafting an elevator pitch that explains who you really are and what you really want. Everyone can learn a lot about themselves through assessments (Birkman, MBTI, Kolbe, DISC,..), moments of clarity (read my book) and career reflection Step 2 Build your tribe. Who can you count on for help and support in this transition? Who is going to pick up your spirits when you slip and fall? Build a team around you and keep in touch with them. Step 3 Act on facts, not assumptions. Often we think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence but when we get there we find out it’s Astroturf. You need to turn off assumptions and really research new opportunities. Step 4 Learn how to network strategically. Using social media tools like LinkedIn and Twitter you can target individuals that you need to meet and develop relationships. When you network, do it strategically and share your new elevator pitch. Step 5 Learn to ask for help. Yes, I am a guy. I do not like asking for directions. But you’re heading into new territory and no one succeeds at a career pivot without others’ help. Set aside your claims to status and your pride in order to reach for something new where you may now be the rookie. This is hard at first, but it gets easier.
