Come September many people consider career and life changes. But it’s scary to feel you have to “re-invent” yourself. You don’t! You already have strengths and demonstrated interests that you can redeploy into a better or more satisfying career.
Wouldn’t it be so much of a relief to identify great new career possibilities building on what you’ve already got? Like the musical director who redeploys his strengths in music knowledge and performance into a new role teaching music. Like the make-up artist who redeploys her strengths of communicating with challenging clients, and making faces look great, into her new role as funeral director.
Watch this 1-minute YouTube video I made while cycling on a railroad line which was redeployed as the Trans-Canada trail!
What’s your story or someone else’s example of redeploying? Leave a comment on the blog post!

I also felt compelled to check out the video link and, then of course, the other videos you have on you tube. Although somewhat difficult to hear, I appreciated your commentary on the wind and moving toward something as opposed to being pushed.
Loved the brief article. I am at a juncture where redeployment sure sounds appealing. It seems daunting to go from the known to the unknown; the secure to the not-sure-if-it’s-secure. You are right in that it isn’t necessarily about creating new skills, but in finding a better fit for your knowledge, values and beliefs. Thanks for the reframe…
Much appreciated for the information and share!
