Can Your Career Improve After a Divorce?

Listen Now!

 

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®.

On the surface, frenemies might appear supportive and friendly, but their actions or words can subtly or overtly undermine, sabotage, or criticize. This kind of relationship can be particularly complex … When this happens at work, where one’s livelihood is at stake, it can be especially difficult.

Post-Pandemic Physical Return-to-Work Mandates? (Part Two)

In my last post, More Post-Pandemic Return-to-Office Mandates? (Part One) I talked about some of the positives of a physical return-to-work (or reduced remote work). This week I’ll look at some of the trickier aspects and why working at home is so much better for some — plus some of the benefits of a hybrid work arrangement.

More Post-Pandemic Return-to-Office Mandates? (Part One)

by | Jun 1, 2024

Once buzzing with life, the modern office is often quieter in today’s post-pandemic world – despite return-to-office (hybrid) mandates or the threat of these mandates.

With many employees still working remotely or hybrid, desks remain vacant. A new challenge has arisen. Despite research published by the Harvard Business School and Fortune Magazine showing that remote workers are more productive, some employers claim that in-office work boosts productivity. A tug-of-war has emerged between management eager for a full (or at least hybrid) return to work and employees cherishing the flexibility of working remotely.
