"Lockdowns may have eroded people’s swagger, but

"Lockdowns may have eroded people’s swagger, but research suggests there are ways to remedy the situation.” In a recent Guardian story “Why self-belief is a superpower that can be harnessed,” Ian Robertson writes that the words we say to ourselves shape our attention, which controls our emotions, and the result is confidence – or lack of it. With wide-ranging research and storytelling he concludes that confidence is the belief that you can successfully do a particular thing. It is this link to action that differentiates confidence from self-esteem (how good you feel about yourself) or optimism (belief that things will turn out OK). **Link in Bio #transitions #NFM #NextForMe #NextForMeBook #work #change #whatsnext #transformation #job #myjob #office #company #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #grind #mygrind #dayjob #ilovemyjob #dailygrind #photooftheday #business #biz #life #workinglate #computer #instajob #instalife

“What do you want out of life, what gives you jo

“What do you want out of life, what gives you joy, and how do you pay for it?” - Mitch Anthony, author of “Life Centered Financial Planning.” In a recent story in the New York Times, John F. Wasik looks at “longevity planning.” It’s the idea that we’re all living much longer lives, so our work and savings will demand a longer plan. Central to the idea is that “life” planning has to be part of the mix. Longer lives have been tied to improved lifestyle choices and overall medical advances. Add to that practices that stimulate the mind and soul, and the output could be a longer life with a big dollop of contentment.

“My executive coach told me once if I ever need

“My executive coach told me once if I ever need a project where I could use a whole bunch of badass women in tech, she knows them because there are so many women who are laid off after the age of 50.” – Melinda Briana Epler Founder and CEO of @techinclusion Change Catalyst, Host Empathy and Allyship Podcast Change Catalyst is a company that’s been leading the conversation about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Their annual conference “Tech Inclusion” was founded in direct response to the tech industry’s shocking lack of diversity in a collective effort to disrupt this biased status quo and make tech a force for good. Epler welcomed Jeff Tidwell, the Co-founder of Next For Me, to explore the often overlooked topic of ageism at work, and share strategies for dealing with this type of discrimination – as the recipient or as a bystander.

“...life’s ordinary patterns have paused for millions of people. In these last weeks and months before something resembling normality returns, we might ask ourselves, “What do I want ‘normal’ to look like?” Then, we can start preparing for a new and better normal than what we took for granted until a year ago.” Could this be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make the changes that 14 months of upheaval have unearthed?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WAY WE WORK? “Once we may

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WAY WE WORK? “Once we may have left our work behind, today we take it with us…. Our working life is woven, warp across weft, into the texture of our domestic existence.” Richard Donkin, Author of “Blood, Sweat, and Tears” In the New Yorker Jill Lepore reports on the history of work in America and how we find ourselves shifting to more and more work with less pay. She writes, “Real wages declined for the rank and file in the nineteen-seventies, as did the percentage of Americans who belong to unions, which may be a related development.” While the word from the C-Suite and feel-good gurus is that we should “find meaningful work,” many are just feeling adrift with less and less control of their work/life mix.

“The transitions of middle age have a different

“The transitions of middle age have a different flavor and cadence than those in our youth. We know ourselves better. We are more selective.” Our colleagues at the @modern_elder Academy have just published “The Anatomy of a Transition.” Authors Jeff Hamaoui and Kari Henley have put into words their experiences and findings from the 1,250 alumni of the Academy. Transitions often start with the end of something, move to the often-awkward (messy middle) liminal period, and then crescendo with a new beginning. Sound familiar? Topics covered in The Anatomy of a Transition: - Change is Situational, Transitions are Psychological - The difference between a Regressive and a Regenerative Transition - Discover the Endings, Messy Middles and New Beginnings of a transition - Explore the 6 P’s of Transitions: Personal, Physical, Psychological, Passing, Professional, Purpose All in this week's newsletter: **Link in Bio #transitions #NFM #NextForMe #NextForMeBook #work #change #whatsnext #transformation #job #myjob #office #company #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #grind #mygrind #dayjob #ilovemyjob #dailygrind #photooftheday #business #biz #life #workinglate #computer #instajob #instalife
