Today I'm sharing an episode of another podcast I love: WorkLife with Adam Grant, from the TED Audio Collective. Everyone’s career will hit some turbulence at some point. The past year has left us all reacting to dramatic change. Instead of pushing harder against the headwinds, we’re sometimes better off tilting our rudder and charting a new course. In this episode, hear from people who have taken unusual steps to battle uncertainty, rethought their approach to finding and landing a job, and reached out for help in unexpected places—as well as an expert on recessions who forecasts the future by looking to the past. If you enjoy this episode and want to hear more, find and follow WorkLife with Adam Grant wherever you’re listening to this.
