New Faces, New Places
In the difficult days of the in-between period, a desire to move on must be coupled with a drive to find strength, wisdom, and emotional support, if only on the outer boundaries of our social world. The practice of shifting connections, as we describe in more detail below, entails looking for new peer groups, guiding figures, and communities of practice. Psychologically, a process of identification is at work: As we encounter people whom we see as sharing something fundamental with us, even if only in our aspirations, we flesh out our ideas (and ideals) of what we are becoming. Consider how many times we have heard people reproach their organizations by saying, “There is no one there I want to be like.” The reinventing process corrects this deficiency, heightening our desire for role models and people we can relate to. These people and groups provide a “safe base” that enables us to take risks with our new selves and a professional community in which we can develop a new sense of belonging.
