How to turn a restructure at work into opportunity with Michelle Schafer

A restructure at work can feel like failure — until you use it to reset on your terms. Anna Lundberg talks with Michelle Schafer about turning restructures into opportunity by getting clear on non-negotiables, value, and what you want next.

Key takeaways

• A restructure at work can become a reset point when you define your non-negotiables first (family, health, flexibility).

• Underpricing is often a confidence issue, not a competence issue — especially when you already bring decades of experience.

• Visibility is more sustainable (and more human) when it's rooted in contribution, relationships and conversation.

• Picking a lane can make it easier for the right people to find you — and trust what you're known for.

• A resilient business model is built around boundaries, rhythms, and proper time off — not constant availability.

If this resonated, share it with someone navigating change right now.
