My reaction depends on whether or not the change is negative or positive. However a sudden and unexpected change in a career can be frightening especially if you have not prepared for it. I will try not to panic or stress myself which can be challenging in those circumstances. I will remain positive, thus take all the positives in that change, embrace them and use them to bring the best results. Yes there might be negatives depending with the change, I will look at how I can mitigate the negatives. Example if there is a reduction in funds due to the change, and there are bills to pay, I will negotiate with the suppliers, aim to cut down on costs as much as I can. All depends with the type of change and how it will affect me, my family and colleagues. For circumstances beyond control, I will talk to others, seek guidance and professional advice.
I learnt over the years to try and have plans in place for any possible change. When you have plans, you do not fear the change as much. We can see what happened during the pandemic (covid-19), many people had to suddenly change their careers, some businesses never recovered to open post pandemic. Most of the people in the industry I work with were badly affected and had to do different jobs.

Hi Faith I agree with your point about the importance of having plans in place for potential changes, as it can provide a sense of preparedness and reduce fear. The example of the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the unpredictability of life and the need to be adaptable. It's impressive to hear how you've learned from such experiences and are willing to seek guidance and professional advice during circumstances beyond your control.
