Reinventing - U with Danielle Silverman: When what you do matches who you are

In this episode we will cover some of the most common misconceptions people have about the job search process. We'll also look at some of the challenges and opportunities job seekers have in this post-pandemic world, what to do to stand out from the crowd, and how to keep a positive mindset and a health work-life balance during the difficult process of looking for a job.

We are living in a new world order. Not only is it a time of rapid change, driven by technology, globalization, and societal shifts, but we are in fact in polycrisis – the new global buzzword - a world in which multiple crises overlap simultaneously. These changes – these crises – are reshaping our economy and, by extension, our careers.

Today’s episode will provide some insight into what organizations and job seekers can do in the face of constant and complex change.

We are living in a new world order. Not only is it a time of rapid change, driven by technology, globalization, and societal shifts, but we are in fact in polycrisis – the new global buzzword - a world in which multiple crises overlap simultaneously. These changes – these crises – are reshaping our economy and, by extension, our careers.

In the context of personal development and life transitions, liminality is that transformative, in-between state where a person has left something behind but has not yet fully emerged into their new state or identity. It’s like being in limbo and is often associated with uncertainty, ambiguity, and potentiality, but also creativity and growth. We can say that liminality is a component or stage of the larger transition process. But while "transition" refers broadly to the process of changing from one state or condition to another, "liminality" captures the experience of the in-between phase. This phase can be challenging and uncomfortable, as it involves dealing with uncertainty and possibly a sense of loss.

Today, Samantha Kris joins us to dive into the concept of liminality and how it can be a tremendous period of opportunity for growth and transformation, as you are forced to reassess your identity, values, and desires.

When we speak about wanting to change careers, we’re most often confronted with managing change and transition. Whether that change is wanted and of our own making or whether it is foisted upon us, the reactions are usually quite the same. Fear and uncertainty. Today we will look at change and uncertainty in a new way, in order to make the transition easier to cope with, even helping you thrive in periods of change.

Today's guest, Markey Read, will help us take a deeper dive into some of the factors that affect you as try to build your career, especially in today’s turbulent world. Markey has great knowledge and experience in career development and career strategy.

Today’s show is all about how to strategically plan your career and choose the next move that’s right for you, so you can achieve your goals and reach your full potential.

The Great Resignation has had a great impact on the work and career landscape in North America. Many people have left their jobs in order to move on to another perhaps more satisfying job. People today are looking for meaning. In fact, today’s world sees people regularly changing jobs every two or three years in order to advance their careers.

If you are voluntarily leaving your job, for whatever reason, make sure you have a plan so that you land where you want to be. In other words, create your next opportunity.
