Boxer Mike Tyson once said "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."
COVID-19 has been a punch in the face for many these past several months. And the pummeling isn't over. Come the Fall, when the usual flu season comes, it may slam us again.How are you responding?
Someone once said, "Action changes things." Here are six ideas for actions to help you bounce back from the punches.
Adapt - The U.S. Marines have a motto that says "Adapt. Improvise. Overcome." Are you adapting to the "new normal?" Adapting means learning and changing.
Create - When you look in the mirror, are you seeing the Old You? Perhaps it is time for a New You. It is up to you to create it, to design it. Designing the new you can start today.
Transform - Not getting traction in your job search or career transition? Maybe there is a message in that. Maybe it is time for change. But not just surface or cosmetic change. Real change. Deep change. Reinvention.
Innovate - It may be time to explore new career paths. Do a thorough skills inventory and a career interests assessment. Then sit down with a career coach and review.
Out of the Box thinking - Now is a time for out of the box thinking. Time for introspective thinking. Time to seek input from others. Time for a career coach.

New Ways - It may be time to consider new ways of working such as part time, contract, consulting, and even opening a small business.
It may be time to review paths not taken earlier in your life to see if it's time has come. Ask yourself, When I was a kid, what did I want to be when I grew up?
It may be time to learn some new skills. Especially skills related to working remotely.

My dear departed mother had a lot of sayings. One she used a lot, when there were setbacks, was "It was meant to be." And then she pivoted and took off in another direction. Her resilience was a quality I admired. I am still learning from her.
