Regain Control

Do you feel like you are being swept up in a tornado, spinning around out of control, hoping to be dropped on the ground and yet fearful of where you will land? In terms of organizational change, it is normal to feel out of control, but the faster you can get your feedback on solid ground, the quicker you can weather the storm.

Here are some 3 quick ways to regain your control:
1. Freshen up your resume. This is not necessarily for a job search, but listing your accomplishments and seeing how amazing you are on paper can help you remember that you have control of your destiny.
2. Reconnect with peers, in person and virtually. This can help you feel supported and make sure you feel like you aren’t in the chaos alone.
3. Update your LinkedIn presence. This does not mean adding an “open to work” label but by asking for recommendations and making sure your information is current and relevant so that your virtual brand reflects the brand you have in the real world.
