How prepared are you for the eventual disruption of your career path?

Do any of these fit you?

• Bored

• Passed over

• Burned out

• Lost, or about to lose, your job to a merger or acquisition, or new “younger” C-suite regime

• Feeling a need to do something more inspiring

• In a job search that isn’t working and not sure why

• Recently retired and finding it isn’t as advertised

• About to retire, nervous, and not sure what to expect

• Being forced into retirement unprepared and don’t know where to turn

• Feeling like a “wandering generality” needing more meaning in your life

• Frightened by the prospect of “getting old”

Late- or post-career decisions are some of the most daunting and high-stakes “turning point” decisions you will ever make.

Yes, there are likely more yesterdays than tomorrows. But mid-lifers are facing the prospect of another 25-40 years of life, as much or more than that spent building a career.

The games have changed: the mid-life career game; the post-career/post-parenting game; the retirement game. Globalization. Technology disruptions. Mergers and acquisitions. Ageism. Pandemics. Political uncertainty.

It’s a new “minefield” of decisions with fewer guideposts than we’ve had in the past to guide us.
