Feeling burned out at work, unfulfilled, or just plain unhappy with whatever we're doing, we long to make the leap to a new and different career path. But how do we make this transition successfully? In this update of the much-loved classic, bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from \"career experts\"-and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra; it is a crooked journey along which we try on a host of \"possible selves\" we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past but from inventing and testing our possible futures. Based on in-depth research and updated with new examples of people in different stages of a career transition, Ibarra identifies the three critical strategies-experiment with new professional activities and identities, interact in new networks of people, and make sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities-that all successful career-changers use. She shows readers how to implement these strategies, with specific advice for how to: Explore possible selves; craft and execute \"identity experiments\"; create \"small wins\" that keep momentum going; connect with role models and mentors who can ease the transition; and arrange new learnings into a coherent story of who we are becoming. A call to the dreamer in each of us, Working Identity redefines the process for crafting a more fulfilling future.
