Over the past month, there have been numerous announcements of major layoffs. 

This can be worrying if you’re post 40 and even worse past 50.   

I’m a strong advocate for mid-career Black women designing their work, in a way that increases their personal satisfaction and aligns with their personal values and priorities and believe it or not a layoff can be a blessing in disguise if you've found yourself in a career rut.

So what do you need to know to ensure you continue your career post 50?

How often have you told yourself that you can't do that job or go for that promotion as you don't have the experience? 

But when was the last time you thought about all the skills and experience you've accrued over your career? 

Before you talk yourself out of going for it, spend some time considering your transferable skills. 

You will be surprised by what you already know and use now or have done in the past that you could take with you to a new career.

Are you really happy or just really comfortable?

It's not always a question we like to answer because "Ooh that comfort zone can feel so warm and cuddly".

It's familiar.

We know what to expect.

It's a safe place.

And it may seem like a contradiction, but as safe as it feels it can still be uncomfortable.

It's a place that can stifle our growth

Keeping us from reaching our full potential or pursuing a career that's more aligned with who we are now at our mid-career stage.

Watch to identify how you can embrace your discomfort to get ahead?

Thanks to the pandemic, the world is sensitized to the normalcy of career change - in fact there's probably an expectation of career change.

But for those of us over 40, there's still some hesitation to making a move. 

You may feel that you've invested so much to get to the point of where you are now that the most difficult thing is how do you have your next chapter without it. 

That's ok, it's a challenge we all face, (we wouldn't be human if we didn't), but let me share with you 7 things I believe you should be considering in the process.

When you’re feeling stuck in a career, industry or job that no longer fits, a career coach can be the life-line that helps you identify and evaluate possible new directions. 

Even though career coaching is often viewed as being exclusively for  senior professionals executives, I’m here to tell you that if you feel you need guidance and support navigating your career then coaching is for you. 

The challenge is how do you choose the right one for you?
