I had a similar journey Cindy, and when the time came to make a career change, I knew every experience I had till then was meant to prepare me for the big move.

This is a great article, Vatsala. You always share wonderful pearls of wisdom!

Thank you Heather. It’s important to release ourselves from the limiting belief that our past dictates our future. We can always change things if we are motivated to create change and are willing to work towards our goal.

Walking away from a job that doesn’t make your heart sing is better for one’s emotional well-being and health, Barbara. Many people go on to achieve great things post-retirement by following a different path where they get an opportunity to use their experience and wisdom to create change for others.

Thanks Debra. It’s a wise decision to have the overlap especially when one is already a senior professional and the openings at the top positions are fewer than entry or mid-level professionals. Money worries is the last thing one needs when embarking on a new adventure. 🙂

I had a similar experience when it came to jobs, Andrea. I’d be at the right place at the right time but when it came to changing my career path from a finance specialist to an Executive Coach, I had to plan it properly.
