Can Your Career Improve After a Divorce?
Can Your Career Improve After a Divorce?

 

A while back I wrote about career coaching within the context of a separation or divorce (click here to see that post).

 

It’s a challenging time when most people re-evaluate many aspects of their lives. This reevaluation sometimes leads to additional changes. More recently,  I wrote a second article on this topic with a focus on the workplace implications of divorce.

 

Here’s an encouraging article from the November 6, 2015,  Globe Careers section, Report on Business, Globe and Mail on the question: Can getting a divorce help your career? I was pleased to share my ideas on this question with columnist Leah Eichler. The full text of the article can be read here.

 

If you or someone you know is concerned about their career following a divorce, please share this story with them. Contact me by email, phone, or via direct message on Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook.

 

More than career coaching, it’s career psychology®.

One such emerging style is ‘unbossing,’ which emphasizes autonomy, empowerment, and a flatter organizational structure with less hierarchy – typically fewer middle managers.

Becoming Ready for Potential Downsizing

The dread of potential downsizing looms over many workplaces, particularly in volatile times. Whether driven by economic downturns, technological changes, or strategic shifts, organizations may need to reduce their workforce to survive while remaining operational. Naturally, the fear of potential job loss can create a tense and uncertain atmosphere among employees. However, preparing effectively for such an eventuality can diminish your anxiety and position you to manage the potential transition smoothly.

What Does It Mean to Demonstrate Authentic Leadership?

What Does It Mean to Demonstrate Authentic Leadership?

Inexperienced leaders must recognize the difference between playing the “character” of what they think a leader should be and what authentic leadership is. This requires self-reflection and intentionally developing a genuine leadership style based on their own strengths, values, and a keen understanding of the team’s dynamics. Otherwise, their approach will seem hollow or one-sided and come across as inauthentic.
