Have you ever wished you could hit the refresh button on your career?
Career reinvention is best done from the inside out! This is especially true for women in midlife whose careers have been impacted by life's many transitions:
Caregiving (for children or parents)
Relocations for a partner's career
Career gaps
Divorce
Health issues
Empty nesting
Whatever transition you're facing, remember this: you deserve a fulfilling career that lights you up. That gets you excited to hop out of bed each morning. And that works with the rest of your life.
If you take nothing else from this article but this, you’ll be ahead of the game – career change is fundamentally an inside job.
Before you start updating your resume or browsing job listings, take some time for self-reflection.
Here are some essential questions to ponder:
What do I love doing? What do others come to me for? What am I naturally good at? What unique value do I bring?
What's work environments do I thrive in? Do I work best in collaborative cultures, or do I crave autonomy? Do I prefer the rush of a fast-paced environment or the steady rhythm of a more measured pace?
What are my non-negotiables? How much flexibility do I need? Do I need a company whose culture fits with my values?
Once you have clarity on your inner "why" and your ideal work environment, your path forward will unfold more naturally. You’ll feel less stuck when you have the beginnings of a direction.
Remember, a fulfilling career shift in midlife is absolutely within your reach!
