Unconventional Strategies for Renewing Your Career #9

Unconventional strategy 9:

Change happens in bursts and starts. There are times when you are open to big change and times when you are not. Seize opportunities. Windows of opportunity open and close back up again. We go through periods when we are highly receptive to major change and periods when even incremental deviations from “the plan” are hard to tolerate. 5 Take advantage of any natural windows (e.g., the period just after an educational program or assuming a new position; a milestone birthday) to start off on the right foot. Communicate to others that you have changed (and will be making more changes). Watch out for the insidious effect of old routines. Progress can be served by hanging in limbo, asking questions, allowing time and space to linger between identities. But don’t let unanswered questions bog you down; move on, even if to an interim commitment
