    As much as you are yearning for career-change, and as much as the trends actually favor it, just contemplating a shift is a glittering invitation to four emotional stalkers who love nothing better than to play a nasty game of team-tag at your personal expense. When you unmask these bandits -- even a little
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    -- they begin to lose their emotional charge – leaving you free to more fully explore the opportunities to re-invent yourself.

    Stalker # 1: The Devil You Know. Just imagine that you’re headed for work. You’re at the station, briefcase and newspaper in hand, waiting in a narrow sea of gray look-alikes t
    ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

    Examples of combination products may in
    catch the 6:10 train. Or, jailed in your car, radio droning, you crawl along the highway, hypnotized by the swaying bumpers ahead.

    You arrive in town, grab your daily coffee, rise silently in a packed elevator and pad to your office, numb before you even start your day. Work done, you reverse direction,
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    back and forth, each day more effort than the one before.

    After ten or twenty years, once colorful work has faded. Yet how good it feels to know the ropes! How seductively easy it is to stay stuck in what you know!

    To break out of your comfort zone, tap into the most inspiring, personal benefit that yo

    The rest of us face the thorny battle of believing that there is work out there for us that is we can embrace with our logic brain and our heart brain. Two different animals, worlds apart!

    This was my #1 dilemma in 1999. Objectively, I knew that I had good skills that I could leverage. But emotionally I was not a believer. Since I didn’t know what THE work was, how could I believe it was possible? I would have given up then and there, if it wasn’t for a friend who suggested that I w

    “Figuring out what to do for a living IS the process,” he explained. “The answers unfold slowl
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
    n the world, it attacks again, melting you into a puddle of doubts about your ability to even come close to career change.

    When you feel vulnerable, think about the bounty you’ve gained from your corporate run -– sharp-as-a-tack analytical skills, business acumen, process know-how, leadership, and the soli

    Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust
    technical expertise -– law, accounting, finance, organizational and human development, marketing, sales – the list is as long and as rich as Rapunzel’s hair. These attributes fueled your corporate career; they will do no less for you now.

    That said, perfect confidence all the time is not realistic either

    . Emotional wobbles go with the territory. To steady yourself, remember that your journey is one of choice, not force. You control it from beginning to end –- the pace, how it unfolds and when. When the level of uncertainty feels too great, accept it. It will pass. When it does, pick up the reins agai

    Mastering your fate means rolling up your oxford sleeves and plowing through lots of rocky terrain. It means caging the four sta

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip

Even thank them for their guidance -- and remind them that you’re the boss now -- and you’re getting ready to take on the decisions around your future
