On today's episode, discover how to build resilience through any redundancy or restructuring you are facing (whether as a junior to mid-level employee, a senior employee or part of the leadership team) with career transition coach Benedikt Oehmen.
In this episode, Benedikt shares his personal experience leading a team of 7 through rounds of redundancies and corporate restructuring at Blizzard Entertainment, leading Benedikt to unintentionally step into a coaching role and guide his team through this challenging transition with a renewed sense of purpose. He also shares practical and easy steps to build career resilience in one's career and/or in their business, and his unique "The Big Three" framework to help professionals navigate career transitions, which can be applied to all areas of one's life.
Key Takeaways from this episode:
1. Embrace Change and View Challenges as Opportunities
- Personal Growth: Redundancies and corporate restructuring can be seen as opportunities for personal and professional growth. Embracing change can lead to new career paths and the development of new skills.
- Leadership Perspective: For senior leaders or business owners, restructuring can streamline operations and open new avenues for business growth.
2. The Importance of a Support Network
- Emotional and Professional Support: Building a strong support network of mentors, colleagues, and friends is crucial during times of transition. These connections provide both emotional and professional guidance.
- Leadership Engagement: Leaders have an opportunity to step into a coaching role with junior and mid-level employees, helping them enhance resilience and provide practical strategies for coping with change.
3. Building Resilience through Practical Steps
- Growth Mindset: Adopting a growth mindset helps individuals view setbacks as learning opportunities rather than failures.
- Training Programs: Consider learning about stress management, emotional intelligence, and adaptive thinking during these difficult times, or even before any significant restructuring occurs. Workshops, seminars and one-on-one career coaching can help offer practical strategies.
4. The Big Three Framework
- Remember the Big Three Framework: 1. Be Kind, 2. Be Present and 3. Be Open - Benedikt dives into these three components in this episode and how he uses it as a lens to navigate not only career change but also all areas of his life!
