Your Career Crisis PLAN of Attack Series

When it comes to navigating changes that affect your career, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and give in to fear and panic. Companies make staffing changes, executives retire, spouses need to relocate. There are numerous events that can cause career upheaval.

In times like these, it’s easy to get wrapped up in what you can’t control. But doing that puts you in reactive mode instead of proactive mode. The best antidote is to brainstorm what is within your control so you can map out a plan and implement it. This helps you shift from reactive to proactive, which can dramatically impact what happens next.

If you have a strategic administrative career plan, now is the time to pull it out and do an assessment of where you are now, where you are going, and how you are planning to get there. And you may need to shift or adjust how you get there in light of current events.

If you don’t have a strategic administrative career plan, you need an immediate plan of attack to help you prioritize what to do next. This series will help you create an instant strategy P.L.A.N. to keep you focused on being proactive and prepared for what’s next in your career.
