The Ethel Empower Hour: Uncovering Your Next Act with Joanne Lipman
56:02
Journalist and author Joanne Lipman talked about her book “NEXT: The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work,” which she wrote because many people felt lost after COVID-19. She explained a four-step “reinvention roadmap”—search, struggle, stop, solution—based on interviews with hundreds of individuals and experts. Lipman emphasized that the difficult struggle phase is normal and can be productive. She shared examples of significant career shifts, such as Ina Garten, James Patterson, Alan Greenspan, and a JPMorgan economist who became a cattle farmer. This fired manufacturing executive started a green packaging business, a phone repairman who became a shoe designer, and HSN’s Marla Wynne. She also suggested tactics for getting unstuck, including imagining “possible selves,” taking action, seeking an “expert companion,” and reconnecting with weak or inactive ties. Additionally, Lipman discussed why reinvention might look different for women and highlighted the importance of community and purpose-driven work.
