    • icon for activity Reinventing Your Career in the Time of Coronavirus File PDF document

      When you don’t know what the future will bring, or when the path you thought you were on takes an unexpected turn, it makes sense to pursue a diverse portfolio of options. Stay active and cultivate knowledge, skills, resources, and relationships until you’ve got strong new legs to walk on in exploring your career.  

      Self-reflection is a practice best nourished by talking out loud in social exchanges with people who respond, sympathize, question and share their own experiences. Just the simple act of creating and telling a story about what you want to do, or why you want a change, can clarify your thinking and propel you forward, by committing you publicly to making a change. But even that is hard in the current context of self-isolation and social distancing. Still, with a bit of initiative and creativity, you can find ways to explain yourself out loud — by scheduling walks that respect social distance, by working with others online, by creating a Zoom group that meets regularly to share plans.

      An article by Herminia Ibarra, Professor of Organizational Behavior at London Business School
