“The paradox of change is that the only way to alter the way we think is by doing the very things our habitual thinking keeps us from doing.” – Herminia Ibarra
Last week we participated in a very engaging and insightful conversation with Herminia Ibarra, an organizational behavior professor at London Business School and author of Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career, and Andrew J. Scott, also a professor at London Business School, and co-author of The 100-Year Life.
Navigating transitions was the topic of the day with the moderator Carl Honoré, author of “Bolder, Making the Most of Our Longer Lives.” The event was hosted by the LinkedIn Community What’s NeXT.
Hosting A Next For Me Event
After a lonely year on Zoom calls, we’re starting to plan events beginning in the fall to see your smiling faces again. If you are part of an organization that would like to partner with us in your community, we’d love to hear from you. If you would like to host a more intimate group in your home we’ll help you organize an event.
We go to small towns and big cities to have discussions about what’s next in our lives and careers. It’s a great way to connect with people who are thinking about these things too. We have filled conference rooms and held intimate conversations around a dining table.
If you’d like to stay informed about the events. Sign up on our Events Page.
