It has happened to so many of us. You get called into an unexpected meeting only to see someone from HR sitting at the table. Your heart sinks because you know what’s coming. You’re part of a “workforce reduction”. That’s what happened to Mark Herfurth after a long 26 year career with his company.
I met Mark a few years ago after a panel discussion where I had been talking about The Gratitude Spark and how gratitude had played a role in my life through some pretty challenging situations. After the meeting, Mark introduced himself and mentioned that he had recently been going through a pretty dark time as he was in the midst of a job transition.
Over the course of 2020, far too many of us experienced the journey of a job transition. In this episode, Mark will talk with us about his journey – the struggles he had, the uncertainties that came with the transition, the lessons he learned along the way. Mark’s story is one of struggle, introspection, resilience and how his intentional focus on gratitude not only led him to a new opportunity, but also to a new perspective on life.
