Welcome to another episode of The EnvisionAir Podcast, your go-to self-development podcast, where we envision living our best lives filled with unlimited possibilities.

On today's episode, discover how to build resilience through any redundancy or restructuring you are facing (whether as a junior to mid-level employee, a senior employee or part of the leadership team) with career transition coach Benedikt Oehmen.

In this episode, Benedikt shares his personal experience leading a team of 7 through rounds of redundancies and corporate restructuring at Blizzard Entertainment, leading Benedikt to unintentionally step into a coaching role and guide his team through this challenging transition with a renewed sense of purpose. He also shares practical and easy steps to build career resilience in one's career and/or in their business, and his unique "The Big Three" framework to help professionals navigate career transitions, which can be applied to all areas of one's life.

Key Takeaways from this episode:

1. Embrace Change and View Challenges as Opportunities

• Personal Growth: Redundancies and corporate restructuring can be seen as opportunities for personal and professional growth. Embracing change can lead to new career paths and the development of new skills.
• Leadership Perspective: For senior leaders or business owners, restructuring can streamline operations and open new avenues for business growth.

2. The Importance of a Support Network

• Emotional and Professional Support: Building a strong support network of mentors, colleagues, and friends is crucial during times of transition. These connections provide both emotional and professional guidance.
• Leadership Engagement: Leaders have an opportunity to step into a coaching role with junior and mid-level employees, helping them enhance resilience and provide practical strategies for coping with change.

3. Building Resilience through Practical Steps

• Growth Mindset: Adopting a growth mindset helps individuals view setbacks as learning opportunities rather than failures.
• Training Programs: Consider learning about stress management, emotional intelligence, and adaptive thinking during these difficult times, or even before any significant restructuring occurs. Workshops, seminars and one-on-one career coaching can help offer practical strategies.

4. The Big Three Framework

• Remember the Big Three Framework: 1. Be Kind, 2. Be Present and 3. Be Open - Benedikt dives into these three components in this episode and how he uses it as a lens to navigate not only career change but also all areas of his life!
