Career Change at 40: Getting Intentional About Your Next Move

Happen To Your Career - Meaningful Work, Career Change, & Career Design

Is your career on autopilot? We see it all the time. Something happens, maybe it's a change in your personal life, maybe it's a company restructuring or a layoff, but you suddenly realize your career has unfolded around you. You've never stopped to think, "Is this really the direction I want to be headed? Is this the type of work I want to be doing? Does this work fit the life that I want to be living?" Then what? How do you justify a career change at 40? Can you take control of your career when you're already 10, 20, or 30 years in?

Learn how a layoff prompted Jorge to reevaluate his career direction, intentionally design his life, and take control of his career at age 42.
