Aging - Instead of Struggling to Stay in the Game, Put Together a New One

 Sad, isn't it. On professional and social networks former prominent players in their fields attempt to remain relevant. They post items such as joining this organization or that (but who wants to network with someone w/o current influence/power), taking a vacation (like who cares) or publishing a book (which winds up in Amazon rankings hell).

The odds for positive branding could be lots better if, yes, they started in a new game. 

For example, I coached a former big wig in healthcare communications. After retirement attention faded fast and soon enough freelance assignments dried up. What this professional did was enroll in a master's degree in public health. Now they are a consultant, well positioned enough to have enough business.

That's just one example. There are plenty more among the wise. 

Takeaway: Don't lose your confidence chasing after a former professional identity.

Data or the gut for your careers and communications? Both of course. Complimentary consultation with intuitive coach, content-creator, and Tarot reader Jane Genova (text 202-468-8579, janegenova374@gmail.com).
