I've been in leadership for over 20 years in the behavioral health industry. I left a company after 11 years to join another as the Executive Director of Mental Health. After 4 months the company decided my position was a financial burden. They decided to merge 2 programs and eliminate my job. I can't believe they would do this! And to top it off, since I wasn't there long enough, they offered no severance.

So, I think it's time for a change of pace. I'm considering starting my own business as a leadership coach working primarily with middle managers. Any suggestions on how to break into the consulting business? #jobsearch #advice #careerchange

I want to stray a bit from my career, but to remain a network specialist. I will make the F5 LTM load balancer my forte. #careerchange #workfromhome #jobsearch

Real Estate Career Choices for Seniors

At 60 years old I've had some great careers. I've got tenured experience and a plethora of skills but I'm still looking for that last great adventure that will be rewarding at my age and help me meet my goals for my "Golden Years." Retirement isn't really an option I'm looking forward to yet but I don't really want to put in the insane hours my GM career demands anymore. The pay is good and the spirit is willing but my body has objections. πŸ˜‰

So, what's a good career for seniors that is interesting and you can apply your years of experience to? How about Real Estate? The more I research, the more intrigued I am. I came across this article and find it might be more doable than I thought. Today's market is challenging but we've been around the block a time or two so why not look into it?

Check out this link and see if this might be a push in the right direction for a career change for you! Link here

Can do this with the right partner I had a business idea and plan I might make it reality

Seeking New Adventures

@Walter Borland, try connecting with your city's Chamber of Commerce. They have their thumb on the pulse of most local businesses and should be able to offer you information about local non-profit organizations. From there, it's just a matter of networking.
