In today’s environment, career resilience is an essential attribute for success and survival. An interview with Linda Naiman in the Globe and Mail
Here is an excerpt from the Globe and Mail (Oct 22, 2009)
In today’s environment, career resilience is an essential attribute for success, even for survival. “If you identify with your job or career, you’re in trouble, because that changes,” says Ms. Naiman. “But if you know who you are and can take a stand for what you believe in – your values – you have a ‘north star’ to guide you.” If you don’t know what you believe in and what you’re good at, what your natural strengths, gifts and talents are, it’s time to ask people for feedback, she says.
With that self-knowledge, you can link your strengths to needs in the world and create a vision for your life. “Artists, leaders and entrepreneurs tend to have something in common: a guiding vision and potent point of view. When you have a guiding vision, it is much easier to make choices and decisions about where to channel your time and energy, by asking yourself, ‘Will this opportunity help me achieve my aspirations?’”
