Redirecting.work

The redirecting research is from colleagues in HR Tech, Future of Work, People Analytics and beyond. There are retirees - a cook, a whiskey maker, a wanderer and more. The stories are of what drove their pivot, their current direction and their advice. I hope you find yourself in one or more of these stories and their advice helps.
