Life is full of changes both big and small. Many are expected, but some catch us completely by surprise causing us to shift our plans.
Make a Plan
Personal Changes
- Designate a specific time of year to review and update your personal information – your passwords, budget, credit rating, etc.
- Check to ensure your important documents are up to date and in a secure location- your Will, life insurance, health documents, deed, licenses, etc
- Make appointments for medical follow-ups, etc.
Professional Changes
- Update/refresh your resume, bio, headshot and social profiles
- Reqest recommendations, references and testimonials for your accomplishments
- Review trends in your company and industry that can positively or negatively affect you
- Connect /Reconnect with friends and current and former associates to check in on them and catch up (without asking for anything)
Don’t consider these things a chore. Embrace the idea that you can learn and grow from every experience.
Review and acknowledge your current support system.
Ask those who have helped you along the way how you might support them.
Remember, a simple “Thank You” never goes out of style!
I would love to hear your thoughts on this and other ways to consider preparing for known and unexpected changes.
Let’s help each other win.
Happy Summer!
Your Partner in Change,
Marsha Haygood
