“Imagine life as juggling five balls in the air. Work is a rubber ball. If you
drop it (or it drops you), your work ball will bounce. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.” – Bryan Dyson (former CEO Coca-Cola)
No two ways about it: Career transition is a family affair. Even if you’re financially secure, and making an exciting, low-risk move for more money, your career change will affect your family. The question is, how much … and are you talking to them about it? While you’re plowing ahead with your job search strategy and getting excited about your future, your spouse/partner/children are very likely going through a wide range of emotions ranging from anxiety about the unknown all the way up to real, gut-wrenching fear.
