It is surpising how many senior exectuives and professionals I come across who while outwardly happy with their successful career and high-paying job, are inwardly deeply unhappy. They feel stuck in their success or unable to make a change because of perceived financial or reputational reasons.
Others simply can’t make sense of all the options they have. They know they want to do something they really like, but just can’t make a decision from all the options they have available to them.
For others, often at the end of their careers or in semi or permanent retirement, the issue becomes one of creating a new ‘identity’ for themselves to replace the huge one that they have moved on from. They want to remain active, a contributor, to learn new things and maybe continue to earn an income of sorts.
In all these situations, a good mentor or coach can be invaluable and save a lot of time and anguish.
While you consider such a step, you will also find it useful to read up on the subject.
A great place to start is A Life At Work by Thomas Moore.
