Dalla quarta di copertina

'In their new book, Changing Gear, Jan Hall, a former headhunter, and Jon Stokes, a psychologist, discuss the strategies that people can follow when approaching the "third stage" of life . . . [Changing Gear] presents a series of case studies of people who have been through this kind of upheaval, some a lot more successfully than others . . . readers will discover that the individual stories are instructive and the questions posed by the authors are important.' The Economist

The world of work has always been a place of development and change. Now, more than ever, our working lives have altered and we are all getting used to a new way of doing business. Coping with transition can be hard at every stage of life, but it presents unique challenges as we come to the time of our lives when we are facing the end of full-on, full-time work.

Changing Gear looks at why work is such an important part of a person's identity, and how challenging it can be (on both a personal and professional level) when it's time to change gear, whether that's to explore a new path or take a step back from our careers entirely.

Offering insight, advice and a practical Eight-Step Transition Process to help you make the right decisions for you, this valuable guide helps you navigate complicated situations, identify what's most important to you, and develop the skills you need to cope with change, providing a road map for the future and all the different opportunities it may bring.
