You've Put In The Years. Now What?

You've built a successful career, led teams, and made an impact. But as you step into this next phase, you're facing a different challenge - what comes after decades of professional achievement?

For many Gen X executives and entrepreneurs, transitioning from a high-powered career isn't just about what to do next - it's about who you want to become.  You want fulfillment, flexibility, and a new sense of purpose. The question is: ​how do you redefine success on your own terms? 

I'm a Gen Xer looking for my encore

The Psychological Shift from Career to Encore

This transition is about more than just deciding what to do next - it's about navigating a major identity shift. Common challenges include:

• Losing the built-in structure of work. No more packed schedules, endless meetings, or predefined goals - so how do you create a meaningful rhythm?
• Rebuilding your social and professional network. Work provided a built-in community. How do you cultivate new connections that align with this next stage?
• Redefining purpose and impact. You've spent years leading, influencing and making decisions that mattered. How do you continue to feel relevant and engaged?

The Opportunity: Designing Your Next Chapter

This next phase isn't about "winding down" - it's about strategically pivoting into a chapter that excites you.

Whether you want to consult, advise, serve on boards, launch a passion project, or dedicate time to personal growth, there no one-size-fits-all answer. The key is making intentional choices that align with your values and aspirations.
