Have you ever felt like your entire identity was tied to your job title?
Change and uncertainty are a constant in today’s workplace. We don’t talk enough about what actually happens when we suddenly find ourselves in transition. And yet, how we navigate these transitions could define our careers and sense of self far more than we realize.
We’ve celebrated reinvention and resilience here on the podcast for more than 200 episodes. This conversation with HR transformation leader Chris Grebenc is the first time we go deep into the full, human experience of being “in-between.” Learn how to make these work transitions less lonely, less scary, and even more empowering.
Being at work means being human, especially when everything feels up in the air. Today’s episode is about successfully navigating the in-between and coming out on the other side.
