Career Coaching
See Your Calling At 50+ As Being More Significant Not Less…
Are you ready for this new work/life reinvention going into life after 50?
My coaching programs are NOT traditional career coaching. Why? Because traditional career coaching only focuses on what your experience, skills, and degree can yield. But at our age, it is just as much about flexibility, purpose, and calling as it is about making money.
Traditional career coaching has always been more focused on doing what you are good at doing by using assessments. At the 50+ mile marker in life, many of us have grown tired of what we are good at. Or we are tired of being told what we do a good job of. I’m good at washing dishes—much better than my husband who always leaves “casserole chunks” on them. Do I want to do this for a side hustle or gig—no!
Traditional career coaching also doesn’t take into account your life outside of your career and all of the other craziness going on in your life. It doesn’t teach you how to navigate that while you navigate your career. Traditional career coaching demands that we separate our lives and career—not blend them. My coaching blends the two—life and career.
At 50+ we want more flexibility, purpose, and meaning out of our work. We want to feel that at the end of the day, we weren’t just a “paper pusher” but contributed something towards the good of others.
Let’s compare traditional career coaching with what I do:
Traditional Career Coaching
- experience
- assessments
- degrees and certifications
- skills
- education
My Style of Career Coaching
- passions
- interests
- dreams
- visions
- intuition
- God-given discernment
- enjoyment
- life/career alignment
- freelance discovery
- gig navigation
- entrepreneurial advice
- bucket list navigation
When you and I begin working together, we will brainstorm possible work opportunities for you to implement. You can then begin to live your new life and make money doing so. While most of us do want meaningful and purposeful work, we also want to make money. There is no reason why you cannot do both.
What types of opportunities do I coach people to find?
- Freelance work
- Gigs
- Side hustles
- Micro businesses
- Entrepreneurial startups
- Work-at-Home jobs/careers
What else will you need?
Soon into my own journey, I realized that it takes more than information or talent to start a business or side hustle. In this “Age of Information Overload,” it is easy to become overwhelmed and frustrated. If information was all that we needed, then things such as coaching and therapy would not exist. You need more.
To be successful in your work/life journey you will need:
- Support
- Accountability
- Focus
- Implementation
- Structure
I offer two (2) different coaching plans. Here is a brief description of each one:
A FREE 15-minute consultation may be given to anyone who is interested in potentially working with me. Zoom, Skype or phone may be used to connect. The session generally only takes 15 to 20 minutes, but I promise not to hang up if it does go to 20 minutes or slightly more. This is generally enough time to see if we are a fit for one another. Go to either my calendar or to the contact form. Free sessions are only given from 5 pm to 8 pm ET on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please pick a time within that.
The Reinventing Work in Retirement is a 90-Minute Laser Session – ($175) – This session is for those who have no idea what to do in retirement or where to start where work is concerned. This laser session will help you zero in on your own unique journey into semi-retirement with poignant questions, unique ideas, self-reflection exercises, and bonuses. It is considered a mini-version of the 6-week program. Session via Zoom.
The Reinventing & Rediscovering Work in Retirement is a 6-Week Program ($700) which includes:
- A 90-minute intake consultation with prerequisite materials.
- 6-weeks of one-hour Zoom sessions.
- Each session is a series of tests, customized questions, assessments, and self-discovery exercises to expand ideas and options.
- Each session ends with accountability on the next steps with a set goal to achieve.
- Upon completion of this package, client will leave with at least one solid work option to implement and additional bonuses.
Follow-up sessions and check-ins after initial coaching is completed is also welcome. Monthly sessions or even weekly sessions may be arranged.
