We all know change is hard. Given the economic climate, folks have had to work outside their field of choice in order to pay their bills. If you think change is hard, reinvention is harder. That being said; there are individuals who reinvent themselves as they change career paths or reach various stages in their lives.
Unless you’re this woman,
most of us have a hard time figuring out how to start. Michelle Awuku-Tatum (aka My Better Half), who is a certified executive coach, wrote an informative and intriguing blog on how to start the reinvention process.
Currently, I’m transforming myself from a post-production producer to a videographer and editor. While I’m technically, still in the same industry, it can be difficult to be seen by your peers and potential employers and something other than what position you previously occupied. To that end, I take on video projects (paid and some non-paid) to completion, in order to showcase the new me. The response to my work has been positive and it fuels me to keep going down this route.
Taking that first step is the hardest, it always is. How then, can you expect to move forward if you don’t?
