Nine Unconventional Strategies for Renewing Your Career
Economic uncertainty has added a new urgency for many women as they rethink their choices for encore careers and the next chapter of their lives. Fulfilling, meaningful work means work congruent with your values, but women also need to be very practical about their preferences and how they operate best. These tips for reinventing your career are excerpted from Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Renewing Your Career, by Herminia Ibarra. Her strategies are exceptional in being grounded in common sense, and reflect how women learn and change – deliberately, through cycles of experimenting and reflecting, directed from the inside, and usually not in a straight line!
Unconventional strategy 1:
Act your way into a new way of thinking and being. You cannot discover yourself by introspection. Start by changing what you do. Try different paths. Take action, and then use the feedback from your actions to figure out what you think, feel, and want. Don’t try to analyze or plan your way into a new career. Conventional strategies advocated by self-assessment manuals and traditional career counselors would have you start by looking inside. Start instead by stepping out. Be attentive to what each step teaches you, and make sure that each step helps you take the next.
