What others are saying
This book is a total gem! So many of us in the mid-life are going through massive changes in our careers, some forced others of our choice. Navigating change in such a volatile environment can be scary and unsettling. The book gives very practical advice, techniques and strategies on how to survive the change. You get a lot of clarity on what to look for and what to ignore and you come out inspired by the real life examples. A must read for any leader who is considering a career tradition!
As an experienced HR leader, I find this book spot on.
Humans are naturally uncomfortable with change but unpredictable change is even more challenging yet this is the new normal across industries, geographies, and cultures.
As such, I am reminded of a quote often attributed to Charles Darwin in various forms. The one I prefer states, “it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.”
To this end it is the acceptance of change that is important and, in line with this, we must prepare for multiple career transitions in our lifetime. Samuel’s book contributes to this by providing much needed direction.
Samuel wrote this book to be a pragmatic approach in understanding change and career transition for anyone facing an uncertain future.
