This edition is for you when your working life turns a corner: the first weeks in a new job, a change of direction, a step towards promotion, a business of your own, or the end of a role you have held for a long time. Navigate Career Transition keeps you company while one chapter closes and the next takes shape.
It helps you find steadiness and courage for the move in front of you. The wisdom is organised around research on how people reshape their working identity and move through transitions, so each part speaks to a real situation rather than to careers in general.
Inside is a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. The sections follow the situations of a working life, among them Starting a New Job, Facing Job Loss, Making a Career Change, Seeking Promotion, Starting Your Own Business and Asking for a Raise. Each card shows a theme, an image and a short description on the front, and on the back a curated set of quotes from six wisdom traditions with room for your own handwritten notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book you can read on a tablet or phone, or print and bind.
On WorkSmart4Life you find it on the library shelf under "Life Wisdom: the moments of a working life". I suggest you begin with the situation you are in right now: print only those cards, read the quotes slowly and write beside the one that speaks to you.
