“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” Helen Keller Whether your mid‐career transition is driven by a deeper calling, a negative situation, or simply curiosity about what else you might become, why not make your transition an adventure? Although most people change careers—some many times‐‐ over the course of their professional lives, the path forward is not always easy or obvious. Transitions can be significantly enhanced with a sound strategy and a spirit of adventure. If you're considering a dramatic change or even dabbling in minor adjustments, this talk will offer a framework for successful transition. These success strategies will allow you to immediately begin to: discover your motivators, generate options within the realm of science and beyond, overcome barriers, and develop a focused plan for your future.
