When career change is forced on you

5. MASTERCLASS 2020
2.1 Time to be strong
Most people will experience an ‘involuntary’ change during their career:
• Redundancy
• Termination of employment
• Relocation
• Personal circumstances, e.g. illness/injury
It can be extremely stressful, particularly for the main breadwinner, but:
• You will get through it
• Remember the change curve
• You are stronger than you know
• ‘Wait and see’ is not the best strategy, it’s not a strategy at all
• Respond with CLASS
“Luck is what happens when preparation
meets opportunity” - Seneca
