Job, Transition and Family Change: Managing Stress at Work and Home

Career Speaker Series

So many families will experience job loss, divorce or crisis every year. This program is intended to help Wharton Alumni identify the signs of overload and assist you to strategize a game plan. The program will focus on being proactive in approaching very real issues in your job, your finances and your personal relationships. It is intended to help in planning and handling the stress related to those in transition and its impact on personal relationships. Whether it is pressures in the workplace that spill over to a marriage or vice versa, or financial pressures or the stress of potentially losing a job.

One thing is virtually certain - - change will happen.  How prepared are you? Who is on your team?

This informative program will be about identifying the warning signs and some actions you can take to create and prioritize your options. Our panelists also encourage attendees to submit, on an anonymous basis, questions that may be addressed during the program (please forward proposed questions via e-mail to Stephanie at gsanchez@whartonny.com.)
