Be guided by a coach who has been - and hasn’t forgotten - where you are.
Over the span of a 30 yr IT career, I’ve felt the sting of all the “isms” (sexism, racism, ageism). My work building global programs that invested in the success and satisfaction of employees through the use of their gifts, fully aligned with my own. It worked, productivity soared, and I had the receipts to show the ROI. Never had I felt so on purpose, empowered, and ready to branch out on my own in 2016 at 55. I leaned into my joy!

The “what’s next” times in life - career change, empty nesting, divorce, retirement - can be quite difficult to process. Imagine using them as opportunities to intentionally choose joy; the joy that comes from doing more of the specific things that put you in your groove and enjoy life to its fullest. When you know what they are - like variety, calm, certainty, or harmony - you can learn how to strategically make them a part of your every day.
