Career Identity

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, but 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.

You built a business that can't run without you. That's not a badge of honor. It's a trap. You started your business to create freedom. But somewhere along the way, you became the person everyone needs for every decision, every fire, every hire. You're making more money than ever and you've never felt more stuck. Your business can't outgrow you until you outgrow who you've been inside it. Operator to Owner introduces The Founder's Evolution Framework, a five-stage identity map that shows you where you are, why you're stuck, and what has to change.

For most of the twentieth century, retirement had one shape: work for decades, then stop.

The Next Chapter Playbook is the clear eyed guide that has been missing from that gap. This is not a financial planning manual, and it is not another vague call to "find your passion." It is a structured, practical walk through the questions that actually determine whether this ...
