Fifty Years

At 50, I felt overwhelmed, undervalued, unappreciated and uncertain about my future. The demands of life (including work) seemed a bit pointless, and yet they took up a lot of my time and energy, and I struggled to find time for myself, which was having an adverse effect on my health and overall well-being. I questioned whether this was all there was to life, wondering if I had lost my edge or if there was still more for me to achieve. And then the turning point came. I took a dramatic turn and changed where and how I spent my time both personally and professionally.

The prospect of turning 70 has been exciting and scary. What I constantly remind myself is that age is as much a mindset as it is a chronological number. Now at almost 70, I feel empowered, fulfilled, and excited about the possibilities ahead. I’ve rediscovered my passion, regained my confidence, and found a new sense of purpose that energises me every day. And just for good measure, I completed a doctoral thesis and wrote a book about what I learned along the way – Life’s NEXT Path.

The Process of Transformation

My journey of transformation wasn’t easy, but it was incredibly rewarding. I understand what it’s like to feel stuck, to question your worth, and to wonder if you can ask for help when you’ve always been the one others rely on. I am not suggesting that completing a doctoral thesis and writing a book is the answer for everyone, but what it highlights is that it is essential to find something that captures your attention and that you are willing to commit to and pursue.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve already achieved great things in your life.  I had achieved personal and professional milestones by the time I reached 50. However, I did not want it to stop there. Chances are you’ve been successful, independent, and resourceful. But now, you find yourself at a crossroads. Maybe events at work, home or both have left you feeling disenfranchised. Perhaps you’re trying to reestablish yourself professionally and personally or simply redefine who you are and how you want to spend your time.

I know how it feels to face numerous demands on your time, leaving little room for self-care or personal growth. You want help, but you’re not sure where to look. You might even question whether it’s okay to ask for assistance when you’ve always been the problem-solver.

Seeking Help is a Sign of Strength and Wisdom

Let me assure you: it’s not only okay to seek help, it’s a sign of strength and wisdom. Your past achievements don’t define your future potential. In fact, they’re the foundation upon which you can build an even more fulfilling life.

Through strategic coaching, developing a life strategy and having access to a very personalised approach, I’ve helped many clients just like you rediscover their passion, overcome obstacles, and achieve new heights of success and satisfaction. It’s not about starting over; it’s about leveraging your experiences and skills in new, exciting ways.

Remember, feeling stuck doesn’t mean you are stuck. It’s simply a signal that you’re ready for growth and change. Don’t let uncertainty hold you back from exploring the incredible possibilities that lie ahead.
