Pam says…
Your Body of Work is everything you create, contribute, affect and impact.
For individuals, it is the personal legacy you leave at the end of your life, including all of the tangible
and intangible things you have created.
For organizations, it is the products, property, inventions, ideas and value they share
throughout the course of their existence.
All of the pieces, parts and fragments of what you do at work and away from work assemble together to create your Body of Work.
Here is the lay of the land:
- The world of work is permanently not stable
- You need to have a backup plan
- Uncertainty, fear and doubt are inevitable parts of building a body of work
How are we going respond to change?
I’ve witnessed many people stay in jobs that make them miserable out of fear. None of those people have a handle on the value of their Body of Work.
As a result, they lay paralyzed when they could be out running the countryside. Pam’s book will help those people who
- Don’t feel confident in their job market positioning
- Can’t seem to tell a good story about their career changes
- Need to find and leverage their hidden talents
