Are You Ready To Make
A
Meaningful
Career Change?
Do you want a career change that allows you...
Maybe you feel like it's time to do something different with your life. You want to do something more meaningful than just "retire". Or you dream about a new career that would give you a sense of purpose and allow you to...
- Create a life/work that reflects and expresses your values and your passion
- Be of service, whether in your own community or on a larger, more global level
- Use your natural talents fully, in the workplace or in your own business
- Explore your creativity and discover your unique "voice"
But you also feel stuck, uncertain about what you have to offer, with no clear sense of direction. It can be uncomfortable, even painful, when you're not clear about your path. Just thinking about changing careers seems overwhelming.
Welcome to Career Change Pathways, a place where you can explore ideas and discover career change possibilities that express who you are!
My name is Janet Cranford, and I am a Career and Life Transition Coach. I am committed to helping people over 50 uncover their unique gifts, articulate their vision, and find the path that's right for them. What if you could:
- Get unstuck. Understand and move through your fears and self-doubts. Find out how you limit yourself, and how to move forward.
- Discover your special talents and strengths. Create a life/work that builds on what you do best and what comes naturally to you.
- Identify your life purpose. Be able to claim an authentic vision for your life as well as a clear sense of direction.
- Clarify how you can best be of service. What's important to you? What do you believe in? What contribution do you want to make?
- Bring your vision to life with an effective job search strategy. Know how to research your options, create a compelling personal brand, make the most of your network, write a powerful resume, and prepare for interviews.
Changing careers involves both self discovery and outward expression. You must journey inward before you can bring your gifts back to others. Only then can you truly understand how your unique strengths and values can combine to meet the needs of your world.
One of the purposes of this website is to share information and ideas with you, so I've divided it into three sections:
- Outer
Pathways. Articles and resources exploring some of
the options
you have for expressing yourself in the world (and some of the issues
you face), as well as practical ideas for making a successful career
transition.
Whether you're thinking about changing careers in midlife, making a career change after 50, or including an encore career as part of your retirement lifestyle planning, you'll find some career ideas that will allow you to make a difference.
- Inner
Pathways. Information, exercises, and career assessment tests
to inspire the
self discovery that is so necessary for a meaningful midlife career
change, one that makes full use of your personal
strengths.
You'll also explore your life purpose, vision, and mission, which can give you a sense of direction when making a career change.
- Career Coaching. A description of the career coaching services offered by Career Change Pathways. The 6-step Authentic Career Change™ process can help guide you in your journey to a more purposeful career.
I hope you take the time to look around and explore. This site will change and grow over time, so please check back often.
