Are You a Restless Boomer?

As a group, Baby Boomers reshaped our concept of a career. Their proclivity to reinvent themselves frequently, switch careers or pursue new life roles, and their desire to work in retirement, upended the old linear sequence of life stages: college, then a single-company career, and then retirement.

The brave new world of work Boomers helped create has opened doors. But it also poses questions without easy answers—especially for Boomers reaching traditional retirement age. Now that your career or financial obligations are starting to ease or shift, what other doors are opening for you? Does the sequence of jobs you've had, choices you've made and purposes you’ve pursued add up to a calling? What else do you want to do with your one life?

Our Life Portfolio Program® gives clients the permission, structure, and tools to address the very same questions in a systematic way. One way that many clients respond is to use their talents to give back to others, in nearby communities or around the world. Giving back is a pillar of the Life Portfolio® model. It connects us with our core values and with other people. It builds self-esteem. It increases our commitment to purpose larger than ourselves.

And it's a sure cure for Boomer restlessness. Give us a call and we'll be happy to explain the resources and tools we have to help you turn your career into a calling.
