Finding yourself in times of shifting landscapes
Mergers, so many of us lived them, and so many of us can relate. One company acquires another company and you, in the middle, thinking of what's next. Change, especially when not occurring by own choice, is so difficult to embrace. In her talk, Aleks touches on the main lessons of the mergers [as she has experienced four of them]: systematic, honest, and constructive lessons. When to let go, what to focus on, how to retain integrity, and how to find happiness in change and change in self.
Spoiler - the talk heavily references philosophy, from Aristotle to Laozi.
