Welcome to 2022! There is no doubt that the world of work will continue to change, or, put more positively, evolve. Working preferences, such as working remotely or in a hybrid environment, are now major considerations for job seekers. Organizations who allow employees that ever-so-important benefit of flexibility – to choose how and when we work – will increasingly attract top diverse talent.

Still, navigating a persistent global pandemic will continue to pose challenges for workers, both professionally and personally. Amidst this backdrop, we can create greater fulfillment by actively managing our careers, making authentic choices, and living our values.

Are you thinking about making a career move? Maybe it’s to another company. Maybe it’s starting a business. Maybe it’s changing careers altogether. Maybe you’re still thinking about it. Whatever career change you are contemplating, one thing is for sure: It’s scary. Why? Studies show that we humans are uneasy — if not downright terrified — of the unknown.
