Contrary to popular wisdom, career change is not a straight path forward to some predetermined identity, but a crooked journey along which we try on the "possible selves" we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering your past achievements and driving toward a new identity that fits this past version of yourself, but in inventing and testing your various possible selves and possible futures.
  • Gives readers a radical new way to understand how career change really happens and the tools for successfully making a change in their careers or professional identities.
  • Turns conventional career advice on its head and redefines the process for making a career transition—not as an exercise in deciphering your past achievements and driving toward a predetermined new identity that fits this past version of yourself, but in inventing and testing your various possible selves and possible futures.
  • Reveals the three critical career strategies that all successful career changers use: experiment with new professional activities and identities, interact in new networks of people, and make sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities.
  • Shows that learning from direct experience and from experimentation is a powerful source of new and critical information to successfully make a career transition.
  • Contains updated examples of people in different stages of a career transition, showing how they implemented this "learning by doing" approach to the career transition.
Audience:
  • People who are starting to question their commitment to their current career or professional identity.
  • People who want to change their career but don't know where to start or are anxious about leaving behind years of time and effort invested in their current profession.
  • People who are in the midst of changing their jobs, careers, or professional identities and are looking for advice to make and sustain their transition.
  • Career coaches and career development professionals.

catalin antonescu a dat nota:

O carte realista, care te poate ajuta sa eviti unele decizii pripite sau multe momente de incertitudine, de indoiala sau neincredere in tine insuti. Nu exista retete sau experimente secrete. Este vorba despre actiune, evaluare, constientizare si continuare. Te ajuta sa fii mai bland si mai ingaduitor cu tine, sa intelegi si sa accepti ca nu este nimic in neregula cu tine daca doresti sa faci o schimbare cand, aparent, totul este in regula si directia este una buna, din punctul celorlalti de vedere. Ca orice carte buna, continand idei valoroase, recitirea, sau macar rasfoirea, ei ar fi de ajutor pentru a evita revenirea la vechile obiceiuri si comportamente.

Strategies that successful career changers use—and how to make them work for you.
Nearly all of us have entertained the notion of changing careers. Feeling burned out at work, unfulfilled, or just plain unhappy with whatever we're doing, we long to reinvent ourselves on a new and different career path. But how do we make this transition successfully?
In this update of the groundbreaking classic, bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of "possible selves" we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures.
Using new examples of people in different stages of a career transition, Ibarra identifies the three critical strategies—experiment with new professional activities and identities, interact in new networks of people, and make sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities—that all successful career changers use. She shows how you can use these strategies to:
  • Explore your possible selves
  • Craft and execute "identity experiments"
  • Create "small wins" that keep momentum going
  • Connect with role models and mentors who can ease the transition
  • Arrange new learnings into a coherent story
Now with action-oriented exercises to help you work successfully through your own career transition, this updated edition gives you the tools to discover a new path and find success in your new career.

How Successful Career Changers Turn Fantasy into Reality

Whether as a daydream or a spoken desire, nearly all of us have entertained the notion of reinventing ourselves. Feeling unfulfilled, burned out, or just plain unhappy with what we’re doing, we long to make that leap into the unknown. But we also hold on, white-knuckled, to the years of time and effort we’ve invested in our current profession.

In this powerful book, Herminia Ibarra presents a new model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we’ve learned from "career experts." While common wisdom holds that we must first know what we want to do before we can act, Ibarra argues that this advice is backward. Knowing, she says, is the result of doing and experimenting. Career transition is not a straight path toward some predetermined identity, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of "possible selves" we might become.

Based on her in-depth research on professionals and managers in transition, Ibarra outlines an active process of career reinvention that leverages three ways of "working identity": experimenting with new professional activities, interacting in new networks of people, and making sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities.

Through engrossing stories—from a literature professor turned stockbroker to an investment banker turned novelist—Ibarra reveals a set of guidelines that all successful reinventions share. She explores specific ways that hopeful career changers of any background can:

Explore possible selves
Craft and execute "identity experiments"
Create "small wins" that keep momentum going
Survive the rocky period between career identities
Connect with role models and mentors who can ease the transition
Make time for reflection—without missing out on windows of opportunity
Decide when to abandon the old path in order to follow the new
Arrange new events into a coherent story of who we are becoming.

A call to the dreamer in each of us, Working Identity explores the process for crafting a more fulfilling future. Where we end up may surprise us.
