How to Reimagine the Second Half of Your Career by Jeff Gothelf

I work with a number of clients in the midst of defining and creating a new second half career. My clients have a high level of expertise, have seen professional success, and have mastered a number of skills. Yet, the thrill of their current work is waning. The tasks have become a bit mundane and spending the next 10 or 15 years on rinse and repeat is not exciting.

  • Entrepreneurialism

  • Self Confidence

  • Continuous Learning

  • Continuous Improvement

  • Reinvention

Take 10 minutes and read the article. I loved it so much, I’m going to get his book.
