In this episode, I’m going to be talking about how you can re-set your career post-Covid – 19. Now, firstly I know that Covid hasn’t gone away and in some parts of the world cases and deaths are still high. I want to be respectful of that fact. And there is some degree of uncertainty about how the pandemic will play out and what the endgame will be.Nevertheless, I want to talk about how we can reset our careers following the events of the last 14 months. Because, during this time, things have been different for us And for sure our lives and careers have been interruptedWe’ve had to deal with:-       Lockdowns and limitations on our movements-       Additional childcare responsibilities as many schools remained closed-       Working differently with our teams and organisations-       A lack of confidence - In the market, our society and in many cases in us as well. Covid 19 has knocked many of us for six.But remember, interruptions aren’t endings. In fact, we can make them into something new — and that’s what we are going to do in this episode. We are going to make what’s next even better!Thanks for listening!
