Stages Of Transition

There are three main stages of job transitioning…. Endings, Neutral Zone, and New Opportunities

In the endings phase you may experience some or all of the following...

Depression
Denial
Bargaining
Conflict

Eventually you will move to a neutral position. In this stage, you may experience.....

Stress
Anxiety
Looking Back
Un Focused
Unclear Goals
Push/Pull
Acceptance

Finally you will move to the new opportunities phase where you will experience....

Hope

As a person moves from each stage it is not uncommon to move back and forth as you work through the stages. The key is to take each day seperately and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
