Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Size matters. Large companies offer advantages like brand recognition, robust benefits, and extensive networking opportunities, but require specific strategies to avoid employee isolation.
  2. All together now. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and buddy systems help large organizations create community and prevent workers from feeling lost among thousands of colleagues.
  3. Freshen up. Career reinvention often stems from burnout or stagnation, requiring both personal reflection and practical steps like updating resumes and practicing interview skills.

From the Source

“I just felt like I was losing my professional identity… profoundly something has got to change.”

“As a coach, your role is to ask probing questions to help your clients resolve the situation themselves.”

“Many times if you’ve been on a job for 10 plus years, you have not interviewed for another position… you just want to make sure they understand or have a good foundation for interviewing.”
