Welcome to “People in Transition”. I’m your host, Bob Gerst.Today, we’re talking about career change, uncertainty, and how to navigate that space between where you’ve been and where you’re going. My guest is Geralda Larkins, SPHR, a transformational HR executive and strategic advisor with more than 25 years of experience across federal and municipal government and other organizations. She has held senior leadership roles with the IRS and the City of North Miami. She has built her career helping leaders and organizations navigate change, accountability, and complex workplace issues.Geralda brings a powerful framework to the transition process: Train, Transform, and Transition. Here’s a quick look at what we discussed:TRAIN· Recognize the skills and experience you already have - you may be more prepared for your next chapter than you think.· If you’re moving from the public sector to the private sector, learn to translate your experience into the language of your new marketplace.TRANSFORM· Embrace the “messy middle” - that uncomfortable space between where you’ve been and where you’re going.· Don’t rush through it. This is where reflection, growth, and change happen. You’re not behind.TRANSITION· Don’t land in panic - land on purpose.· Be intentional about what comes next and choose an opportunity that aligns with your values. I think you’ll find Geralda’s perspective both practical and inspiring. So let’s get into it.
