7 Reasons to Recession-Proof Your Next Career Reinvention Let's look at seven reasons why you'll want to recessionproof your next career reinvention-now.

1. Moore's Law Named for the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and CEO of Intel Corporation, Gordon Moore's prediction that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit double about every two years has for decades been used as a guide to long-term planning and to set targets for research and development. But you can also use Moore's law in preparing yourself for a down economy using technological innovation every two years as your marker.

Act Now: Visit a local cafe or library and begin building out or refreshing your career timeline for the next two quarters. By completing this activity you'll know when it's time to begin your next career reinvention and whether it needs to be fast-tracked-something you begin in the next two weeks-or whether you can pace yourself and begin the process in the next two months.

2. Crossing Complacency Chasms Far too often organizations allow complacency to seep between the culture cracks, creating blind spots that produce stale products and services. This is how business leaders and managers kill innovation-slowly and almost methodically ignoring the death of creativity while punishing personal risktaking within their functions.

It's fairly easy to expose complacency inside your organization if you elect to remove your blinders. In fact, by strenghening your peripheral vision you develop the foresight for anticipating problems before they happen. It's like having the ability to see around corners-kind of a sixth sense-where you see early warning red flags flying before they're raised on the flag pole.

Because of the importance of peripheral vision, especially when developing personal risktaking and innovation capabilities, we delve deeper into this topic in two of our Seeding Change online courses 30 Days to a Recession-Proof Reinvention and The Scrappy Corporate Entrepreneur.

MARCH 20, 2020

Act Now: What have you done to advance your career within the last two years? If you haven't taken courses, workshops or classes, at the least every quarter, then you're likely getting stale in the role that you're currently in. This would also be a great time to update your resume given that the jobs market continues to change.

3. Inflection Points Matter Just as businesses cannot afford to ignore strategic inflection points neither can professionals afford to miss the four critical signposts indicating it's time for a career reinvention. By proactively managing your Personal Inflection Curve (P.I.C.) you remain alert to career opportunities and vigilant to organizational undercurrents that signal early shifts in business

Dave Says

BY DAV E R A M S E Y

Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions. He has authored seven best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 16 million listeners each week on 600 radio stations and multiple digital platforms.

Follow Dave on the web at daveramsey.com and on Twitter at @DaveRamsey.

DO WE STILL OWE? Dear Dave, Should you still pay debts that are in collections, even if they have been dropped from your credit report? The one in question is from 2011, and I assume it isn’t showing on the credit report anymore because it’s nine years old.

Sam Dear Sam, There are two good reasons to go back and deal with this debt.

One, even if it’s off your credit report, you may still legally owe the money. Even if the statute of limitations has run its course, things like this have a habit of popping up and causing problems at the worst possible times. About the time you decide to buy a home, this is liable to raise its head again and mess things up. So, the fact that something doesn’t appear on a credit report doesn’t mean you’re not legally liable, or that they won’t bother you about it later.

The second thing to think about is a simple matter of fact—you owe the money. Regardless of what the legal system or credit report says, you morally owe the money. I’d contact the creditor, and begins negotiations to settle the debt. You might be able to reach an agreement where they’d accept less than the original amount owed. Regardless, get any type of settlement offer in writing. That way, you’re truly cleaning up your life and getting rid of any financial skeletons in your closet!

THE SIMPLE THING IS THE RIGHT THING Dear Dave, I recently found out my former employer never stopped contributing to my health savings account (HSA). Apparently, this has been going on for about nine months, and they just sent me a form to sign so they can get the overpayment back. The amount totals a little over $1,000, so should I sign the papers or is there another way to handle this?

Ellie Dear Ellie, You know, if I were as incompetent as your former employer, I’d be too embarrassed to ask for the money back. But hey, the point is it’s not your money. Sign the forms, and let them take the money out.

Keep an eye on your HSA balance, though, and make sure they take out only amount they overpaid—not one penny more or less.

Keep it simple, Ellie. You didn’t earn this money, and it wasn’t expected or agreed upon. It was a mistake, so just do the right thing.

Control the scenario, and stay on top of this situation until everything is resolved correctly.

—Dave

METRO IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER. METRO IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.

By Rachel Cruze

Have you started planning your summer vacation yet? It’ll be sipping-lemonade-by-the-pool season before you know it. I love vacations, but here’s what I don’t love: Nearly 40% of millennials are willing to go into debt for their trips.1 Coming back home to credit card bills makes the end of a vacation miserable. I don’t want that to be your story. If you start saving up now, you’ll be in great shape when it’s time to pack your bags.

Here are eight ways to save up and pay for your vacation with your own money:

Give your budget a refresh.

If it’s been a while since you looked at where your money is really going each month, I bet you’ll find some areas where you can cut back in a matter of minutes. Then, you can put that cash toward your vacation sinking fund!

Brew your own cOFfee at home.

I get it. Fancy coffee with a designer label makes me feel special, too. But if you put that $25 a week into a vacation fund for a while, you’ll add a couple hundred bucks or more to your travel budget.

Pack your lunch.

Peanut butter and jelly today means piña coladas all day on the beach this summer!

Everyone I know swears their grocery bill was slashed in half simply by switching to shopping at Aldi. If you don’t have one near you, you can save money buying store brand or generic brand items.

When’s the last time you really watched a show on HBO, or used any of the makeup samples from your Birchbox? I’m not hating on subscription services, but if you don’t use them, that’s money leaving your bank account each month you could be saving.

Once you try these money-saving tips, you might just make them a habit. Then, you’ll be ahead of the game when it’s vacation time next year. My free Vacation Budget Worksheet makes it super easy to plan for all your expenses.

Things always cost more than you expect. But this worksheet will help you plan for everything—even the unexpected stuff !

Continued from page 8 and in the workplace.

You want to avoid bypassing your personal inflection point and the red flags warning you of the impending risk heading towards a downward slope. The amount of energy and effort required to reinvent yourself when you're in the doldrums is far greater than if you proactively reinvent ahead of the curve.

4. Innovation Marches On Technology advancements didn't take a pause during the Great Recession nor will they stop during the next downturn either.

Enterprise research and development units might not be fully funded for a time, but innovation cannot be stopped or contained for long.

In fact, innovative breakthroughs often occur during times of great stress-fear walks a fine line between stimulating our creatively or shutting it down altogether.

Atlantic senior editor Richard Florida suggests in his 2011 piece for the magazine that we consider recessions as a chance to "reset" given that innovations that come out of hard times will refill the landscape of economic decay. Resets can be seen as do-over opportunities.

In the case of the U.S. auto industry the Great Recession turned out to be an innovation lab.

Act Now: Innovating on demand is a differentiator and companies want to tap the entrepreneurial energy and creative thinking that can make this happen. On a scale of 1-10 how innovative would you say your performance has been in the last 12 months? Map your short term (3-6 months) and midterm view (9-12 months) plan for harnessing your existing capabilities and upgrading your entrepreneurial skills.

5. Economic Recoveries Take Longer Let's not forget that it took the U.S. economy five to six years to fully cycle out of the Great Recession that officially only lasted from 2007 to 2009, primarily due to households and institutions having to financially dig themselves out of economic debt.

One of the issues that I cover in my book Innovation in a Reinvented World: 10 Essential Elements to Succeed in the New World of Business (John Wiley & Sons, 2011) is the idea that wider gaps that exist between a recession and an economic recovery can negatively impact both employers and potential employees due to skill misalignment and, thus, possibly prolonging the employment recovery.

38

MARCH 20, 2020

VOL. 25 ISSUE 1234

Companies that I profiled in my book acknowledged that skill gaps existed just as the economy was cycling out of the worst down turn since the Great Depression and hiring was beginning to pick up.

Seeking professionals with advanced technological knowledge and experience after a two year gap in employment meant that for large swaths of unemployed career professionals they were no longer considered competitive in a field that rapidly changes. So unless a professional was able and willing to fund their own upgraded training they were pretty much out of luck given that limited government resources were available.

For some generations, it may be difficult for people to imagine another long economic recovery given that in 2019 the U.S. and other countries are now experiencing low unemployment numbers. This could be why "ghosting" has become such a phenomenon in the last few years as recruitment firms grapple with being snubbed by candidates who initially accept an offer, only to retract it, or not show up at all.

According to recent research of 1,202 U.S. managers by recruitment firm Randstad US, more than 43 percent of Gen Z employees-those aged 22 and under-say they've ghosted a recruiter or employer. This figure dips to 26 percent for millennials (ages 23-38) and Gen X-ers (ages 39-54), perhaps because these generations do remember the economic pain of the Great Recession. Millennials will likely grapple with GR after effects and wage disparities for decades to come. On the other hand, ghosting by baby boomers (ages 55-74) was only at 13 percent.

No hard data exists as to whether ghosting behavior will negatively impact professionals after the next recession hits, especially for Gen Z workers who were too young to have experienced the unemployment pain following the Great Recession.

Act Now: Build relationships in areas that pique your curiosity-new role, new project or even a new industry. Rebuild relationships where you may have burned a bridge or your reputation may have been sullied, e.g., ghosted a recruiter or potential employer.

6. Leaps in Technology Circling back to Moore's law, let's peer into the near future and consider how industries, businesses and organizations could change if technological leaps occur every two years. Advancements in artificial intelligence, automation and robotics are already altering how businesses operate today and will transform how functions get work done and how professionals collaborate inside the workplace with both humans and smart machines.

We hear about how millions of jobs will be lost to these advanced technologies and that many more jobs will be created. But the biggest challenge currently is that no one can really say for certain what skills these replacement jobs will require.

This makes planning for closing the "jobs gaps" and planning for the future a bit dicey, unless it's the more obvious tech roles such as AI engineers or machine learning designers. A good rule of thumb regardless of how fast these technologies advance is to strengthen your

GENERAL

foundational capabilities, such as adaptability and complex communications, as well as developing or honing skills associated with project management and change management.

Act Now: Refer back to reason #5 about economic and employment recoveries taking longer during deep recessions. You want to be as prepared as possible for potential training gaps as emerging technologies take root. Would you be ready to fund your own training in order to remain competitive? Does your employer offer you opportunities to upskill or reskill? If so, have you taken advantage of this training? What are the industry trends for your line of work? If your job were to disappear in sixty or ninety days what would reinvention look like for you?

7. Planning for Career Pivots Don't underestimate the amount of time that career pivots could require if economic conditions quickly head south. Optimism will serve you well in most situations; however, pragmatic optimism will serve you even better. Planning for "what if" situations is never a bad thing, and if you're a project manager or change practitioner you'll never go wrong with having Plan B's, Plan C's, and if the complexity warrants it, Plan D's.

Planning for the future is not the same as being fearful of the future. You don't want to be so careful about your choices in life that you never take chances and smart, informed risks.

Career success in today's fast-moving environments and marketplace ups and downs is about reinventing before the next economic inflection point and ahead of your own Personal Inflection Curve (P.I.C.).

Act Now: It's time to circle back to #1 about visiting your local cafe to work on your reinvention timeline, and while you're at it (it might mean another cup of your favorite joe or tea), you'll want to begin fleshing out a fuller reinvention plan utilizing the Act Now activities in this article.
