Adapt to an unpredictable workplace

- [Chris] The only constant in life is change. Now you may have heard this before. But it doesn't just apply to life, it applies to your career too. Every career has twists and turns we never would have expected. And in many cases, those turns come in the form of a restructuring, lay off of furlough. You thought that you were in a job where you could continue to grow and thrive. But when word gets around that your company may be in the midst of major changes, it feels like the rug has been pulled out from under you. Now if this is where you find yourself, don't worry. These circumstances aren't always bad news. I'm Chris Taylor, also known as the Occupation Optimist, and I'm a career development specialist who works with professionals from entry level to executive level on a daily basis. To help them define their goals and build the careers of their dreams. I've seen countless clients come through restructurings and end up in a better place than they were before. I've even been through multiple restructurings of my own. So I've seen and experienced these transitions firsthand. In my LinkedIn learning course, I'm going to help you understand the dynamics of these types of workplace changes. And share with you concrete strategies to improve your situation if your employer goes through a restructuring. So settle in, get comfortable and join me as we explore how to navigate your career through restructurings, layoffs or furloughs.
