Working Identity
Ibarra introduces the idea of possible selves: exploring who we might become through action and experimentation, rather than waiting until we have all the answers.
Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader
Ibarra calls it outsight: growing into leadership by trying new ways of working, building different relationships and expanding how we see ourselves.
Living the 100-Year Life
On rethinking careers, work and life choices as we live and work for longer.
Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change
A practical guide to navigating the human side of organisational change, including what it means to let go of the familiar, move through uncertainty and embrace a new beginning.
