There’s a couple of big changes in our relationships that happen in our lives, but maybe the one that hits the closest to home is the role-shift that happens with our parents. There can come a time where the people that once cared for us eventually come into our care. It’s a huge responsibility, whether or not it’s a little funny that now it’s your turn to make sure they eat all their vegetables. But after the importance and irony sets in, you might realize that other parts of your life have to change to accommodate this new responsibility –including the career that you’ve probably spent decades building. And here to guide you through that transition is Lisa Downs. Lisa’s joined us before as a career-coach specifically for professionals who are navigating life and work later in life. Today she’ll be offering us some guidance on how we can shift our careers in order to give our new family responsibilities the attention they deserve and still stay on top of the life we’ve built.
