We all face challenges in the workplace. Let’s face it – your age is what it is and there is nothing you can do about it. If you need to change the color of your hair, lose weight or obtain more qualifications then there is something you can do to make these things happen. With your age, there is not one thing you can do! So, that being the case, put your birth date aside and get on with facing the challenges you can conquer, fighting the battles that you can win. There is no point in dwelling on your age as an issue.

3. Perhaps the biggest
challenge that you face is
the vast number of options
available. Gather as much
information as you can
about all your possibilities.
Write down all your
options. Consider your
interests, your needs and
what you really want from
life right now. Update
yourself and your
professional ‘package’.
You’re on your way!

5. If you are unhappy with your work
life, and change is what you need,
the most empowering action you
can take is to reinvent yourself
using your skills and experience,
and make a smooth transition to
another career. Don't limit your
opportunities.
It is a difficult decision to make, but
you need to take this step if you
want to live the rest your working
life with meaning, and with a sense
of fulfillment.
