Midlife Career Possibilities

Claire's Story

In her mid-40s, Claire felt like a career nomad without a clear sense of direction.

She had diverse interests and had undergone several career changes. Yet, her fulfilment never lasted. Something was always missing.

She wondered why she couldn’t settle down and be happy “like everyone else”.

Now, three years into a new field, her inner voice was again urging her to keep moving forward. But where to? What was her ultimate destination?

Brenda walked me through the reasoning behind each of her career transitions. I saw the thread that connected all the dots.

Her career changes weren’t setbacks. They were skill sets she needed to sharpen and talents that needed to be discovered. Along the way, she developed impressive coaching skills.

Claire decided to look into self-employment and the possibility of starting her own business. A free spirit, she sought an option that would provide her with both the roots and the wings. This was her unique formula for career fulfilment.

Few are blessed with a career that provides lasting satisfaction throughout their life journey. For Claire, midlife became a time of reflection, revealing that her sense of career fulfilment was something she’s been spinning into existence all along, one decision and change at a time.
