Graceful Goodbyes: Making the Most of Your Career Break-Up
APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | ALL OTHER PLATFORMS
Let’s face it >> career break-ups are hard—especially for high achievers who do excellent work and agonize over the response from their boss and team.
But the reality is that moving into a new role, industry, or company is an excellent way to grow your career with fresh experiences.
I know this is easier said than done, so in this episode, we’re going to talk through:
+ Feeling guilty; guilt keeps many people from making a change, so I want to share some ideas to help you move beyond the guilt and make it happen
+ Determining your timeline
+ Crafting a communication strategy
+ Building a thorough transition plan
+ Staying connected
Resigning is HARD, and at the same time, it’s worth it.
Because you deserve a long, radiantly happy + healthy career.
Words Of Wisdom From Today’s Episode
The strategy to resign with grace + gratitude includes these main steps:
- Reframe feelings of guilt— the bottom line is that no one wins if you remain at your company out of guilt.
- Determining your timeline—the more time you can provide your organization to plan for your departure, the better.
- Crafting a communication strategy:
- Who needs to know?
- Who do you want to be sure you talk to before the word gets out?
- Make a list of the people you want to talk directly with.
- Building a thorough transition plan—develop a list of mission-critical actions versus “nice to have.” Create a written plan and a shared folder with associated documents, files, links, and everything necessary for the team to carry on in your absence.
- Stay connected—Remember that just because you don’t work together each day doesn’t mean you can’t continue with your working relationship. Especially in our online world, it’s much easier to stay connected with the people you want to stay in touch with.
