Making the Most of a Midlife Crisis – Without the Ferrari! - 5th October 2009
The term ‘midlife crisis’ gets bandied about a lot, but why should it be a crisis at all? Think of all the things you have learned throughout your life and career. By exploring the knowledge and experience you have gained, your strengths and specialities can be used to formulate new concepts and ideas, which you can adapt to new networks and industries.

There’s no denying that ageism in the workplace is rife in Britain, but if you can manipulate your knowledge and market yourself as an independent business thinker you can prove yourself an asset to any company.

‘Coming to certain milestones in your life can make you realise that you’ve lost sight of what was important at the start of your career,’ says Simon. ‘This time doesn’t have to be chaotic but can be a transition into a more positive time in your life where you can gain full control of the exact direction your career is heading.’

There are some key questions Simon suggests asking yourself at this time:
• Is it time to make a career change?
• What do you really want to achieve?
• What are your career goals?
• Have you considered self-employment?
• Are you satisfied with your work/life balance?

Moving forward to your future career goals, are you on track to achieve what you want to by the time you retire? Career management can help you answer all these questions and make sure you stay focused in achieving your career objectives within a realistic timescale.

PCS Executive understand that senior and executive level individuals require specialist assistant and Simon states that ‘enlisting a the help of a career management company helps to keep you focused and determined during periods of change.’
