Seven lessons about Career Change with Professor Herminia Ibarra

People trying to change career often understand very clearly what they want to stop doing: they find it much harder to articulate what they want to do instead.
This short film, drawing on Herminia Ibarra’s research into career change (for her book Working Identity) examines how six INSEAD alumni successfully made a career change and what lessons exist for those considering such a move.
Contributors: Herminia Ibarra, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, INSEAD;
Annet Aris (MBA'86) INSEAD Professor, who went from being a McKinsey consultant to being a professor at INSEAD and sitting on the boards of multiple listed European companies
Alexander Dembitz (MBA'74) Chairman, SOFGEN Holdings, who left a banking career to set up a banking technology consulting firm focussing on Eastern Europe.
Simon Guild (MBA'90J) Interim COO at Babbel, who stood down as president of MTV Europe and later developed a portfolio of non-executive board roles for high-growth media and technology firms.
June Ritterbusch (MBA03J) Owner, Salado Winery Company, who flew helicopters for the US Army before founding a winery in Texas.
Mika Salmi (MBA’92D) Tech/Media Entrepreneur, who moved from the music industry to the technology sector to found Atom films (which he later sold to Viacom) and sit on numerous boards.
Phoebe Yeh (MBA'04J) Managing Director, Jett International, who switched from a banking career first to private equity and then to became an entrepreneur in China and Hong Kong.

great advice. I'm sure the book is worth reading.
"- admit you don't have the answers
- rethink your skills
- get random
- don't jump too soon
- but don't get stuck
- be wary of advice
- remember staying is risky too"

This video made me feel like it's ok to not be happy with where I am, and where I've been. We live lives where we are taught to be grateful for what we have because others have it worst. Such manipulation, thanks for this post... truly
