The Career Shift:
Translating Your Skills into a New Context
PACS3742
You were an employee, now you are self-employed. You were a manager, now you are a director. You were in the home, now you are in an organization. Often, we assume we must learn entirely new skills for a new role, or worse, that we can continue as before. Making
any career shift requires time, energy, and focus to translate and integrate the old into the new. Identify existing skills, translate and reshape them into new applications and contexts.
