About this audiobook
What happens to a person when they no longer fit the job, the role, or the path they once chose? How do you recognize the moment when something stops feeding you? And what do you do when the old professional coat gets too tight, and the new one isn't hanging ready in the closet yet?
Moments of Transition is a reportage about five women who, at different points in their lives, dared to make a professional turn. A psychotherapist who found her way back to herself after years in the corporate world. A serial entrepreneur who traded the stability of a large company for freedom with no safety net. A fintech CEO who changed direction without crisis or drama. A country manager who learned to trust life step by step. And a woman whose taste was decades ahead of the market -until the market stopped rewarding it.
Anna Firlej - a strategic leader, certified coach and mediator, long involved in business and the tech industry — talks with them without lecturing, ready-made recipes, or sugarcoating. There's insomnia here. There's shame. There's the body, which often knows before the mind does. And there's the price you pay even for a change that's good, wanted, and chosen.
This isn't a book about change being easy, beautiful, and profitable from month one. It's about what really happens when an old identity stops working and a new one hasn't been born yet — and about how a career change is rarely only about a career.
