This powerful visualization exercise will help you envision what it’s like to work in a job share in under 15 minutes.

There are several barriers to job sharing that those interested in sharing roles need to overcome, but the hardest barrier to overcome might be you.

It takes people a while to wrap their heads around job sharing. After all, there are two people, meaning two personalities bringing two sets of ideas into one full-time position. They’re sharing their income, profession, and personal lives, even. It can seem brilliant but tricky to pull off successfully until you’ve experienced job sharing firsthand.

So before you come across any outside obstacles or barriers to creating your job share, you need to make sure you are not standing in your way. Visualizing the day-to-day life of one week as a job sharer with this powerful exercise will enable you to slip into the job share mindset and embrace what it’s like to job share in less than 15 minutes.

So get comfy, settle in, and go there with me as I take you through this exercise to help you open your eyes to how job sharing could impact your life.
