Episode 164 Are you in the home stretch of your career?

Your Time With James Sweetman

At what point do we accept that we are no longer climbing a career ladder, but on the final rung? When does the finishing line of our working lives first come into view? At what point do we shift down the gears of ambition? These are some of the questions I’m pondering this week. Over the last 20 years I’ve helped countless clients navigate a career transition, often from roles where they’ve achieved success, to roles they find more fulfilling. I explore the concept of encore careers, a second act that tends to be more aligned with our passions and skills. I also speak about job upcycling and role crafting whilst sharing plenty of questions to help you refresh your career, contemplate your next chapter, your final chapter or even the epilogue.
