ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Carol F. Cohen - CEO and co-founder, iRelaunch
Carol Fishman Cohen documents successful transitions back into the workforce after career breaks.

Why you should listen

Carol Fishman Cohen is CEO and co-founder of iRelaunch, a comprehensive career reentry resource for employers, individuals, universities and professional associations. Cohen has been on a dual mission for nearly 15 years: to elevate the profile and champion the success of professionals returning to the workforce after a career break, and to educate and support employers that engage with return-to-work talent. Her goal is to normalize the career path that includes a career break and document successful transitions back into the workforce so that employers understand the value proposition that returning professionals provide.

Cohen is the co-author of career reentry strategy book Back on the Career Track and a returning professional herself. Her return to work at Bain Capital after 11 years out of the full-time workforce is documented in a Harvard Business School case study. She has connected with thousands of professionals who have successfully returned to work after a hiatus, and she has engaged with hundreds of hiring managers to understand their perspectives on hiring people returning from career break.

iRelaunch's flagship event, the annual iRelaunch Return-to-Work Conference in New York City, is the leading external source of candidates for the major Wall Street reentry internship programs and is the largest and longest-running dedicated career reentry event in the United States. Cohen has been tracking career reentry programs of all types since 2008 and writes a series of articles for Harvard Business Review on the theme "The 40-Year-Old Intern." She originated and co-leads the Society of Women Engineers/iRelaunch STEM Reentry Task Force, an initiative to increase the pipeline of female engineers via reentry internship programs at STEM sector companies.

Reći ću vam što se dogodilo
s Tracy za koji trenutak,
03:15
but I want to sharePodjeli with you
a discoveryotkriće that I madenapravljen
59
183320
2429
ali želim podijeliti s vama
moje vlastito otkriće
03:17
when I was returningpovratak to work
60
185773
1723
kada sam se vraćala na posao
03:19
after my ownvlastiti careerkarijera breakpauza of 11 yearsgodina
out of the full-timepuno vrijeme workforceradna snaga.
61
187520
4096
nakon pauze u karijeri od 11 godina
bez punog radnog vremena.
03:23
And that is, that people'snarodno viewpogled of you
is frozenzamrznut in time.
62
191640
5240
A to je, da je ljudski pogled na nas
zamrznut u vremenu.
03:29
What I mean by this is,
when you startpočetak to get in touchdodir with people
63
197320
3656
Što želim reći je, da kad
započnemo imati kontakt s ljudima
03:33
and you get back in touchdodir
with those people from the pastprošlost,
64
201000
2736
i mi se vratimo u kontakt
s tim ljudima iz prošlosti,
03:35
the people with whomkome you workedradio
or wentotišao to schoolškola,
65
203760
3256
ljudi s kojima ste radili
ili išli u školu,
03:39
they are going to rememberzapamtiti you as you were
66
207040
2736
oni će vas pamtiti kakvi ste bili
03:41
before your careerkarijera breakpauza.
67
209800
1816
prije prekida vaše karijere.
03:43
And that's even if your senseosjećaj of selfsam
has diminishedsmanjen over time,
68
211640
3496
I to je više izraženo ako je osjećaj sebe
samog umanjen tijekom vremena,
03:47
as happensdogađa se with so manymnogi of us
69
215160
2096
kao što se događa u većini slučajeva
03:49
the fartherdalje removedukloniti we are
from our professionalprofesionalac identitiesidentiteta.
70
217280
3896
što smo dalje uklonjeni
od naših profesionalnih identiteta.
03:53
So for exampleprimjer,
you mightmoć think of yourselfsami
71
221200
2696
Tako na primjer, vi
možete misliti o sebi
03:55
as someonenetko who looksizgled like this.
72
223920
1480
kao netko tko izgleda ovako.
03:57
This is me, crazylud after a day
of drivingvožnja around in my minivankombi.
73
225800
4296
Ovo sam ja, luda nakon dana
vožnje u mom kombiju.
04:02
Or here I am in the kitchenkuhinja.
74
230120
2200
Ili ovdje sam u kuhinji.
04:04
But those people from the pastprošlost,
75
232760
2536
Ali ti ljudi iz prošlosti,
04:07
they don't know about any of this.
76
235320
2216
oni ne znaju ništa o tome.
04:09
They only rememberzapamtiti you as you were,
77
237560
2536
Oni se samo sjećaju kakvi ste bili,
04:12
and it's a great confidencepovjerenje boostpoticaj
to be back in touchdodir with these people
78
240120
4176
i to je veliki poticaj samopouzdanju
da se vratitmo kontaktu s tim ljudima
04:16
and hearčuti theirnjihov enthusiasmentuzijazam
about your interestinteres in returningpovratak to work.
79
244320
3640
i čuti njihov entuzijazam
o našem interesu za povratak na posao.
04:21
There's one more thing I rememberzapamtiti vividlyživo
from my ownvlastiti careerkarijera breakpauza.
80
249440
4096
Postoji još jedna stvar koje se slikovito
sjećam sa moje pauze u karijeri.
04:25
And that was that I hardlyjedva keptčuva up
with the businessPoslovni newsvijesti.
81
253560
3375
A to je da sam se rijetko bila u doticaju
sa poslovnim vijestima.
04:28
My backgroundpozadina is in financefinancije,
82
256959
1617
Moja pozadina je u financijama,
04:30
and I hardlyjedva keptčuva up with any newsvijesti
83
258600
2416
i rijetko sam držala korak s
bilo kakvim vijestima
04:33
when I was home caringbrižan
for my fourčetiri youngmladi childrendjeca.
84
261040
2936
kada sam se brinula kod kuće
za svoje četvero male djece.
04:36
So I was afraiduplašen I'd go into an interviewintervju
85
264000
3376
Tako sam se bojala da ću
otići na intervju
04:39
and startpočetak talkingkoji govori about a companydruštvo
that didn't existpostojati anymoreviše.
86
267400
3360
i početi govoriti o tvrtki
koja više ne postoji.
04:43
So I had to resubscriberesubscribe
to the WallZid StreetUlica JournalČasopis
87
271200
3536
Zato sam se morala ponovno pretplatiti
na Wall Street Journal
04:46
and readčitati it for a good sixšest monthsmjeseci
coverpokriti to coverpokriti before I feltosjećala
88
274760
3456
i čitati ga 6 mjeseci od korica
do korica prije nego što sam osjetila
04:50
like I had a handlerukovati on what was going on
in the businessPoslovni worldsvijet again.
89
278240
3920
da se mogu nositi sa onim što se
događa u poslovnom svijetu ponovno.
04:55
I believe relaunchersrelaunchers
are a gemdragulj of the workforceradna snaga,
90
283880
3656
Vjerujem da su ponovni
početnici dragulji radne snage,
04:59
and here'sevo why.
91
287560

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Carol F. Cohen - CEO and co-founder, iRelaunch
Carol Fishman Cohen documents successful transitions back into the workforce after career breaks.

Why you should listen

Carol Fishman Cohen is CEO and co-founder of iRelaunch, a comprehensive career reentry resource for employers, individuals, universities and professional associations. Cohen has been on a dual mission for nearly 15 years: to elevate the profile and champion the success of professionals returning to the workforce after a career break, and to educate and support employers that engage with return-to-work talent. Her goal is to normalize the career path that includes a career break and document successful transitions back into the workforce so that employers understand the value proposition that returning professionals provide.

Cohen is the co-author of career reentry strategy book Back on the Career Track and a returning professional herself. Her return to work at Bain Capital after 11 years out of the full-time workforce is documented in a Harvard Business School case study. She has connected with thousands of professionals who have successfully returned to work after a hiatus, and she has engaged with hundreds of hiring managers to understand their perspectives on hiring people returning from career break.

iRelaunch's flagship event, the annual iRelaunch Return-to-Work Conference in New York City, is the leading external source of candidates for the major Wall Street reentry internship programs and is the largest and longest-running dedicated career reentry event in the United States. Cohen has been tracking career reentry programs of all types since 2008 and writes a series of articles for Harvard Business Review on the theme "The 40-Year-Old Intern." She originated and co-leads the Society of Women Engineers/iRelaunch STEM Reentry Task Force, an initiative to increase the pipeline of female engineers via reentry internship programs at STEM sector companies.
