We explore what The Great Resignation is and how change and organization consultants can use it as a time of empowerment and opportunity to align work and life purpose.
Sabrina was proud of her prestigious management consulting position in one of the Big Four agencies. “Being a consultant and working for the ‘Big Four’ was my identity. It was who I was… So, when my work wasn’t going well, I wasn’t doing well either because my job was my identity.”
It’s hard not to blur the line of self-identity to our careers, especially when so many consultants work an average of 50-60+ hours per week. However, for Sabrina and countless others, this boundary, or lack thereof, between work and personal fulfillment has become more apparent since the pandemic. This has catalyzed an unprecedented movement in the workforce, now coined The Great Resignation.
