Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy!
Personal Development
The first few posts of the week focus on early stages of job loss with some framing that will hopefully help through the current stages of the transitions.
What Just Happened? This first post talks about Lifequakes. They can be triggered by different events in our lives. Here we focus on the impact of a job loss.
Navigating the Grief of a Job Loss. Everyone handles grief differently. This post reviews seven possible stages and what to be aware of during the days and weeks after losing a job.
Where Did My Identity Go? Monday we talked about Lifequakes and this post shifts to cover the Identity quake. The moment when you realize how tightly you are tied to your job title and company.
The Gift of Inner Work. This post stresses the importance of inner work – not only for our careers, but for our life overall. We should take stock of where we are and do the inner work needed.
Popping Life Bubbles. Sometimes the time we spend in a job, at a company, or within any structure can put us in a bubble where we don’t see what’s outside. This final post of the week covers a few bubbles that might want to be popped from time to time to move us forward.
