Career change is scary. And you want those around you to support you. The reality is though, you’re most likely to face some resistance. Most people can’t help themselves. They have concerns and feel the need to voice them. But that doesn’t mean you have to take their concerns on board. It also doesn’t mean you should dismiss them either. That will only create more resistance. So, what should you do when people don’t support your next career move?
