Desiree spent the last 6 years working in a job that was slowly being sidelined.
Funding had been chipped away over time.
Open positions weren’t being filled.
She wound up with more and more on her plate.
Returning to work, she knew something had to change.
She had been barely making it through the day before going on leave.
Now with a new baby and not enough sleep, she would not be able to go back to how things had been before.
Some transitions, like returning from a leave of absence are obvious or moving into a new role, are obvious.
Other are more subtle.
Sometimes things just start to feel different....
Old approaches aren't working like they used to...
You're questioning things you used to be certain about...
The fact is, you may be navigating a transition without realizing it.
If you are experiencing a transition, try answering these questions that shifted everything for Desiree:
Assuming your transition is in charge of you can be demoralizing.
Feeling like you don't have options can feel hopeless.
Revealing that neither is true can change everything!
