Publisher's Summary

In Changing Directions Without Losing Your Way, the authors who helped pioneer the "working from home" revolution identify the six stages of change in business and in life. In each of these six stages, Paul and Sarah demonstrate how to understand and assess change for what it is, and then recast your career or other vital aspects of life to adapt to new realities.

From facing a new reality, releasing the past, finding an inner compass, embracing the future, developing a strategy, to putting the show on the road, the six stages of change are clearly explained.

Paul and Sarah Edwards supply useful and simple exercises to help readers understand their options. They also supply vivid examples of others who have successfully wrestled with the disruptions of job changes, downsizing, or changes.

Critic Reviews

"The Edwardses' advice is both inspirational and practical." (Booklist)

Recommended

This book was very helpful to me when I was facing several life changing events while at the same time dealing with a drawn out end of a long career with my company due to massive layoffs over a period of time.

Good if you’re thinking of changing career or being made redundant

I didn’t find it that useful on dealing with enforced change - merger, take over and new work cultures, how you actually deal with change when it happens to you in life in general. But it’s good if you want to make future plans, start a new career or business. A bit short.
