It is a time to Build Your “Ships”.

It seems to me that many of the “threads” of our social fabric are undergoing change. As just one example, people and courts are arguing over what, in fact, constitutes “marriage.” In another recent headline, people are arguing over whether a major religion is, in fact a “religion.” The employment relation, too, is undergoing profound societal examination. “Should employers be able to treat employees this way?” is a common question we receive.

Times of change are times of instability. In such times, more than ever it is time to build your “Ships.” It is your “Ships” that get you through the stormy times and, eventually, to the security of a “safe harbor.”

The “Ships” I refer to are the relation-Ships that give you job security. They include friend-Ships, member-Ships, mentor-Ships, intern-Ships, partner-Ships, apprentice-Ships and other “kin-Ships” of every type. These are your personal “threads” that together form the support networks that establish, build and maintain job security.

Consider this a good time to build “Ships.” If storms continue, you will have better support. If storms abate, you will have smooth sailing.

Build “Ships” related to your work.
