Managing a Mid-life Makeover

Is it time to revitalize or reinvent your career? Try these exercises to help spark the process of creative transformation.

Explore your interests and passions.

What did you love to do as child? What activities produce timeless states of flow - of being completely absorbed, focused, and energized? What do you wish you had more time for?

When you think of the needs of your community, workplace or environment, where do you feel compelled to participate?

Name your talents and strengths

We tend to discount things we do easily, but our natural aptitude or skills for doing something well, are the source of our natural genius.

If you don’t know what your gifts are, ask others what you do well.

Explore your values

What do you most want to be known for? What really matters?
