Coaching for Leaders

659: Ways to Thrive When the Ground Keeps Shifting Under You, with Jen Byyny

Jen Byyny

Jen Byyny is a senior director of product design in health-tech and a graduate of the Coaching for Leaders Academy. In this conversation, Jen and I discuss how to handle change in your career when things keep shifting around you.

Key Points
  • It’s about people, not product. When lots of change is happening, come back to relationships and communication.
  • Pay attention to the people who support you and the ones you look forward to working with. They will be your champions through whatever happens.
  • Provide space for grace during times of change. Others need it as much as you do.
  • It’s helpful to have people in your corner who are pulling for you but who are not tied to the politics or emotion of the situation.
