I’ve noticed over the years from working with hundreds of senior medical and public health leaders that as they approach the latter part of their careers, they are concerned that they may be feeling no longer challenged, or are burnt out, or feel a sense of dread about the prospect of retirement ahead.
Are you prepared for a 100 year life and a 70 year career?
I’ve written a lot about the concept of 100 year life and a 70 year career and how it’s never too early, or too late, to ‘take the reins’ and to be proactive about being more strategic and structured when thinking about your future.
It’s very easy to get stuck in the trap of doing the next obvious thing in front of you, but you have worked for decades to achieve your level of skill an experience – and if you’re going to do your own best work yet then it’s important to be proactive and empower yourself to get into action!
My structured. evidence-based, career coaching for doctors and public health leaders is underpinned by career coaching psychology.
Here are some of the goals that clients have successfully worked on with me:
- ‘Clarify my academic career ambition and define a strategy for achieving this’
- ‘To return to work as a full time consultant’
- ‘Knowing which area or speciality of medicine to pursue next’
- ‘Stop spending so much time thinking about what is right for me and analysing it all the time. I’d feel success if I didn’t feel anxious about my career choice’
- ‘Creating an application for the xxx job, and hopefully securing an interview, and me learning some new things along the way’
- ‘Work out where I want to be in the next five years’
- ‘To set myself up for a rewarding career role’
- ‘Fully assess current work situation and impact on life, sustainability’
- ‘I want to achieve a better/workable/achievable work/life balance’
- ‘A clear vision of what I want from the future’
- ‘A powerful articulation of my value to organisations’
- ‘To regain control of my professional life’
- ‘To confidently present my experience, achievements, and strengths in job applications and interviews, ensuring my unique value is clear and compelling to prospective employers’
- ‘To figure what my next job will be’
- ‘Set and maintain boundaries’
- ‘To secure a permanent/long-term senior health leadership role, in an organisation that is a good fit for me, allows me to balance professional and personal goals & aspirations’
- ‘To set the stage for non exec/ advisory roles peri retirement (5 year plan)’
- ‘Have a clear sense of the best work scenario for me (meets the best possible balance of needs and wants) over the next five-ish years’
- ‘Balancing my time to feel fulfilled and under control’
