Your 50s are Your Magic Years!

Posted October 1, 2019

Turning 50 is a big deal. What I’ve learned through my coaching – and my personal experience – is the entire 50s decade is a bigger deal. I believe it’s a magical time for leaders who want to figure out what is next.

Many of my initial calls with clients go something like this:

I’ve been successful, but I’m not sure I love what I’m doing anymore or that I want to keep going on the path I’m on. I don’t know what I want to do, and I don’t know how to figure it out. I do know I want to be happier.

More often than not, they are in their 50s (or late 40’s and looking ahead!).

What is really exciting is that as the conversation continues, I hear them shift from being scared or lost to being inspired and motivated to chart a course for the next phase of their life.

If you are in this age group, you have so much going for you:

• You are still young. Yup. You can potentially live another 40 years. Life isn’t over by a long shot.
• You have experience. And a lot of it. Whether you have been on a single career trajectory or had many careers, you have (gulp) over 30-years of experience. That’s a lot to build on as you look ahead.
• You have not only survived, you have thrived. Tenacity, grit, resilience – whatever you want to call it – has been baked into your experience. You have more of it than you think and it will serve you well.
• You have honed a bunch of skills. You are likely a continuous learner, and have the opportunityto use the runway you have ahead of you to discover new skills while leveraging what you already know.

Nonetheless, there are things getting in your way of gaining the clarity you want. Money, relationships, confidence, passion, etc. are all muddled at this point in time. That’s normal.

It doesn’t mean quitting your current job and doing something dramatically different – although that has been known to happen – it’s about making a plan to start now to gain control of your future.

The good news is there is a way forward!

If this resonates with you, send me an email, share your story, and let me know what’s going on.

If you’re interested in digging deeper into what’s next for you, consider working with me in a very powerful way to gain control and create the lifestyle you want to live.

I work with serious high achievers who want to work hard and invest in themselves to create the future they desire.

I offer three options:

1. A 12-month, one-on-one coaching program. It includes in-person coaching at the start, middle and end. Scheduled monthly virtual sessions, and unlimited email and text communication are provided throughout the engagement.
2. A 6-month, one-on-one coaching program. It includes in-person coaching at the start. Scheduled monthly virtual sessions, and unlimited email and text communication are provided throughout the engagement.
3. A monthly subscription program. We meet together virtually a predetermined number of times each month. We start with a three-month commitment, and the engagement continues indefinitely until your plan is in place or your goals are achieved.

This is not a “follow these 5 steps to happiness” program. It takes a commitment on your part to dig deep to uncover and remove obstacles getting in the way of moving to your next phase. We will chart a course forward together, and I support you throughout the plan.

Don’t leave your greatness on the table! I look forward to hearing from you.

Warmly,
Tim
