Choice fundamentally alters the trajectory of our professional lives. Imagine the sense of accomplishment awaiting us once we commit to and achieve these career milestones that make sense for us.

What are you truly longing to take on?
What would give you joy once you work on it and finally complete it?
What activities do you want to make a regular part of your life?
What is the quality-of-life shift that you are committed to?
What do you long for?

These answers redefine our careers and bring about a profound shift in how we respond to offers.

Each decision, whether large or small, has the potential to shape our professional trajectory in profound ways.How can we harness this power to craft a career path over 40 that aligns with our aspirations and brings us fulfillment?

The power of choice lies the freedom to pursue what we truly long for professionally based on decades of experience. It's about recognizing that we have agency over our career direction and embracing the opportunities that resonate with our passions and ambitions.

The power of choice enables us to define our own markers of success, outside of social media, our boss who just retired or our neighbor who just parked a boat in his yard.. In a world often defined by external measures of achievement, such as titles or salary, embracing our power agency allows us to redefine success on our own terms.

How to say NO.

Chart your own course at the office by ‘sleeping on’ the ideas they offer you. Is this work going to level your brand up or make matters worse.
The realization of our ambitions and the fulfillment of our potential can help navigate when you decline offers for new work. Negotiate based on what you have accomplished.
Only commit to what is in your best interest in the short or long term. Don’t kid yourself that your company is looking out for you. Only you can look out for you.

Our journey towards career fulfillment begins with introspection and intentional action.

By identifying the career choices every damn day that could truly change our lives, embracing our professional longings, and committing to quality-of-life improvements within our careers, we pave the way for a more aligned journey.

Let's dare to redefine success on our own terms, pursue our professional passions, and embark on a transformative career journey over 40.
