Midlife Career Reboot 2018 : What Now For You?

Can't make the place or the date? This meeting is also being held online on 19th February (https://www.meetup.com/Professional-Invincible-You/events/247309782/)

If you’ve enjoyed your career until now, developed your skills, notched up solid achievements and grown your confidence, but now something’s shifted and you feel flatter or less engaged with your work, and long to get the spark back, then this meeting is for you.

Whether your change of heart is driven by external factors; a new boss, a missed promotion or changes in your organisation, or it’s driven by changes in you; longing for something new, to work with new people, or you need flexibility to handle caring or other responsibilities, this session will give you space to start to reflect, to realise that your feelings are valid and that there are ways forward to fulfilment and career happiness again!

In this session you’ll hear about :-

• Why it’s important to listen to your dreams and desires – even if they seem impossible right now, as they can guide you as to what will truly make you happy in your career.

• A process that can help you to understand yourself and your ‘career needs’ at a deeper level so that you can identify new options that fit better with your current situation and what you want in 2018.

• How you can overcome past 'conditioning' from parents, family, colleagues, teachers and friends that may be trapping you in a role or profession that’s not ‘you’, so you can move forward to work that you’re truly fired up about.

• How even if you feel well and truly ‘stuck’ right now, you can release yourself and move forward to a more meaningful and satisfying career.

• The tools and techniques that can take the stress and weightiness out of decision-making and remove your fear of ‘getting it wrong’ or ‘losing' what you’ve achieved so far.

• How you CAN resolve your apparently conflicting desires e.g 'new challenges' vs 'the comfort of what you know', or 'doing what you love' vs 'earning big bucks'. You'll learn how you don't have to make either/or decisions, and that you can have BOTH.

• How to think about money so it doesn’t roadblock the process.

• What separates those who succeed and those who fail in career transformation.

• True stories of people who made changes and reinvigorated themselves and their careers.

The presentation and Q&A will last for about 40 minutes, after this you'll get the chance to experiment with some of the tools and techniques discussed.

Looking at career issues might sound like 'serious work' - rest assured our meetings are relaxed and friendly and we give everyone a warm welcome. What's more, career change is a creative process - so I encourage everyone to have a playful, open mindset in the meetings.

The £10.00 charge covers room hire and tea/coffee.

Your Presenter/facilitator

Trudy Lloyd is a professionally qualified career coach and facilitator.

She helps mid-career professionals to find more meaningful, satisfying and rewarding work - work they’re more fired up about. She also helps them stay relevant and employed when workplaces are rapidly changing due to new technologies, intense competition and globalisation.

In addition to her formal training, she draws on many years of experience helping teams to innovate and be more creative in business.

http://www.anatelloglobal.com/about/our-people.html

She now also uses these skills to help professionals to REINVENT their careers to stay employable.

Trudy understands how professionals face many challenges in their careers these days, including the ways many companies prioritise shareholder returns over creating a 'great place to work' and developing their employees, the stresses of 'job overload' and the isolation of working in ‘remote teams’. However, she is optimistic about the possibilities for people to reinvent their careers and has helped many people head to 'new pastures' where they've found greater satisfaction and better rewards.

She helps professionals to realise that there are many ways to ‘market’ your skills in the twenty first century. You can be employed or in your own business. You can work "online" or work "offline". You can have a portfolio career, work in the UK or overseas or work flexibly, to name but a few.

‘Career reinvention’ is a process which enables midlife professionals to identify what is making them unhappy in their work situation, get clear about what they want now, and what skills and traits they have to offer. After this, they can start to get creative and discover brand new opportunities that are just right for them.

The reinvention process may throw up 'conflicting desires' and Trudy helps people resolve these conflicts and find a transformational 'third way', so it's not either/or any longer, but the opportunity to have BOTH things you want in your career.

Trudy helps people match themselves with employers or customers who need and want the skills and traits they have.

• Trudy brings extensive marketing and innovation skills to the Career Reboot :Professional Invincible You 35+ group and wants to help people think afresh about their career situation, identify new ways forward and ways they might get a better return (financial and emotional) on the effort they have invested in their career to date.

• She’s a trustee and coach with Thames Valley Careers Springboard.

• She is the author of the forthcoming book. Staying Relevant – Innovating your Professional Role after 40

I’d be delighted if you could join us on the 15th February!

• Got a friend/colleague who might be interested in this topic - it would be great if you could let them know.
