Q:

Exploring your dream job and taking that leap of faith to another career can often impact those close to you. How can you work with and involve your family in this process?

A:

You need to involve your family from the beginning. Sit down and talk with them. Explain your feelings, your dreams and your plans. Have them share their concerns, their feelings and even perhaps their anger over how your actions might impact them. Work through those issues and try to address them specifically. Be sure they feel included in this process and let them know their support is important to you. For example, if your children are afraid they won’t have any quality time with you, agree on a sacred time like bedtime or Saturday mornings that you’ll always be available to them.
