Mid-career mid-life women …
Have you lost your creative spark?
You know the feeling. That creative spark that’s lit when you are excited, inspired, stimulated, passionate about your work…
- Your ideas flow
- You’re energized
- You see things in fresh new ways
- You’re making connections, thinking outside the box
- You feel like you matter
When was the last time that happened? You spend a huge part of your life at your job. Your career fuels your life. What happened to your passion? What extinguished the spark?
Career change and transitions at mid-life are
very different from those we make in our twenties and thirties. It might
be scary but it’s also an adventure. The importance of status, success,
money and meeting the expectations of others shifts as we get older. At
mid-life we tend to reflect on the gap between the reality of our lives
and the dreams we once had.
Women in particular want the second half of our lives to be meaningful. We won't get another chance. Maybe you’re not having a mid-life crisis but maybe it’s time to create one - at least at work and put a new focus on what you really want and finding work that matters.
Now more than ever it's important to take the time to find the right career fit. We spend so much time at our job. How we feel about it affects all areas of our lives. That's why it's essential that you're in a job you enjoy. Don’t stay in a career that is not a fit for you and end up regretting it later.
How do you know you're ready for a career change?
Which statements describe you?
-
Your career is unfulfilling, or you’re stuck in a dead-end job where you’re not growing professionally or personally.
-
You don’t know exactly what you want but the work you’re doing now is not it!
-
You deserve to get promoted or advance but you’re having trouble “breaking through”.
-
You’re dissatisfied with your job and want a way out – but don’t know where to start.
-
You’re unemployed or afraid you might be laid off soon, and you want to find a new and better job.
-
You want to plan a purpose-driven encore career but not sure what it is.
-
You feel burned out, overworked or underpaid, and you want to find a job that pays you what you’re worth and deserve.
- Your career is just not a good fit – and you yearn for work that more closely matches your interests, personality and skills.
Of course, a total career change is not the only solution when you feel like this. Often you can make changes in your current job to make it more satisfying and meaningful. But if you feel as if you're dragging yourself from one day to the next, some kind of a change is necessary.
