In this episode, Kemi examines the often-overlooked challenge of adjusting to new norms when you make a significant career move. Whether you're changing institutions, shifting roles, or altering your professional circle, Kemi breaks down the nuanced steps of navigating this complex process.
Listen closely as Kemi explores:
- The difficulty in recognizing new professional norms and why our past experiences might cloud our judgment.
- The importance of curiosity and questioning our automatic reactions to unfamiliar workplace behaviors.
- Strategies for being open to new interpretations and allowing time for emotional adjustment to align with intellectual understanding.
- The vital role of community in reflecting on and understanding our experiences, preventing self-sabotage, and embracing change.
This episode serves as our reminder that change isn't just about embracing new opportunities; it's also about the delicate art of relearning and adapting to a new environment's unspoken rules.
