Sue provides executive coaching.
Is this YOU?
You’ve achieved a lot in your career but you want to achieve more.
You want this phase of your career to be meaningful to you and make a difference in the world.
You want to redefine what success looks like for you now.
You want to make sure you have the mindset necessary to manage change effectively.
You want to find ways to prioritise what’s important to you.
The imperatives in late career are different.
You have experienced success in your career and along with it a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. The question is: what’s next? What new opportunities for growth appeal to you?
You have pushed yourself hard and maintained momentum. Do you want to keep up this pace or do you want to balance work with family and other interests?
You may want to build a legacy and have a lasting impact on your organisation and the industry. What values drive you? How will you define your legacy? What is your plan to achieve it?
You need to maintain your relevance. In a rapidly changing business environment, executives must keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date. What are the areas where you need to improve and what is your strategies for staying relevant?
As the workforce becomes more diverse in terms of age, you must learn to manage a team of employees from different generations. What are the different needs and motivations of different generations and what are your strategies for managing a multigenerational workforce effectively?
As you near retirement, you may need to transition to a new role within the organisation or outside of it. What appeals to you? What roles utilise the best of you? Is there more for you to learn? How will you cope with this sort of change?
Executive coaching can support you.
Coaching helps executives in their fifties, sixties, and seventies to navigate the challenges and opportunities they face in their late careers.
The benefits of having an executive coach in late career include:
Maintaining or adapting performance level: An executive coach can help you stay at the top of your game by identifying new ways to challenge yourself, manage your workload, and set new goals. Alternatively, they can help you establish a ‘new normal’ for your performance with different measures of success.
Avoiding burnout: Anyone can be at risk of burnout or exhaustion, particularly in this ‘post-COVID’ era. An executive coach can help you identify signs of burnout and develop strategies to prevent it.
Developing a growth mindset: Even if you are well-established in your career, there is always room for growth and improvement. An executive coach can help you adopt a growth mindset and explore new opportunities for learning and development.
Addressing your desire for change: If you know that you want something different in the latter part of your career an executive coach can help you identify the change areas and work with you to develop strategies to address them.
Navigating complex changes: Sometimes you have to adapt to changing circumstances that are not of your making. An executive coach can provide an objective perspective and help you develop new strategies to tackle these challenges.
