  4. DISCLAIMERS I don’t have a magic wand I can’t give you a million dollars, a new job or a business I can’t change your boss, your colleagues, your friends or family I can only share my ideas – it is up to you to choose what will work for you Today you are part of a group so I cannot address all situations individually and if you do not wish to share, you do not have to! If this discussion brings up other issues for you, please seek professional help

  5. What comes to mind when you look at this picture right now? Please write down your thoughts

  6. Which direction are you heading in right now?What does it feel like - the summit or the cliff?

  7. Are you looking forward or back? Are you in command or is someone or something else?

  8. Are you seeing things in black and white right now? Or can you see the colour in your situation? Is there something blocking your vision of the future?

  9. With your permission – today I would like to: • 1) Help you understand a little bit more about where you are now • 2) Provide some suggestions on how you can move forward immediately • 3) Discuss some methods you can use over the longer term • 4) Highlight some of the common mistakes people make when they are over 40

  10. If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Lewis Carroll

  11. You need to start with an idea of where you would like to go… But first, let’s have a quick look at where you are now… Please close your eyes… Survival – do you have enough resources to survive right now? Comfort – are you grateful for what you do have? Growth – is there an opportunity for you to develop? Assets – are you making use of all of your assets? Truth – are you living according to your highest values? Time – can you be realistic about how long this change will take? Issues – what can you change and what can’t you change? https://drdemartini.com/writings_and_insights/a_quality_life_demands_quality_questions

  12. Take a moment to write down anything important Do it without editing or judgement Remember that No time is ever wasted It is never too late to do something… Is there one thing you would like to do differently? Can you see an existing situation in a different way?

  13. Is there one thing you would like to do differently in the future that you would like to share with the group?

  14. Moving Forward How much money do you really need?(or are you chasing what you want? Resources or resourcefulness) Have you taken full stock of what you already have? (maybe it is actually time to declutter first) Would a good book, short course or activity provide you with some stimulation?(no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater – 80% is good enough, no need for an expensive education to get you started) What or who else can you call on?(skills, knowledge, networks)

  15. Moving Forward What are your highest values (and non-negotiables)?(relationships, time, health etc – not what others say) What can you do today, tomorrow, next month, next year?(set some realistic priorities and then add a buffer) What does your current context really look like?(you may have some things that you literally cannot change)

  16. Longer Term • What will you do? • Catalogue your past • Record your non-negotiables • Brain storm your options • Select your preferences • Define your values (not just purpose – destination/journey) • Take Action • https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-choose-your-next-job-career-sue-ellson • Who will help you take action? • Accountability partner • Mentor • Coach • Professional Adviser https://www.cdaa.org.au/find-a-practitioner • Trusted Colleague • Supportive Friend or Family Member • https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/do-you-have-time-accountability-partner-sue-ellson

  17. Longer Term • What can you try? • Anything – part time • Not everything – it doesn’t work • Something affordable • Something secret • Something public • Something well researched • Be more open minded about others – they have their own battles In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you. Andrea Dykstra

  18. Common Mistakes • Years of experience (label) • Victimhood (blame) • Repetitive behaviour (same results) • Not seeking help (plenty on offer) • Not taking action (hiding behind text) • Not celebrating wins (even small ones) • Forgetting success (time for significance) • Giving up (never too late) • Spending instead of savouring • Isolating instead of collaborating • Playing safe and not being courageous • Growing old not growing up

  19. Opportunities • New experiences • New freedoms • New paths • New relationships • New priorities • New focus • New alignment • New learnings • New challenges • New growth – for yourself and your loved ones • Any questions?
