Today, we're listening to a replay of one of our favorite episodes with John Tarnoff. Tune in to listen here → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/224 As Boomers, we have to constantly reinvent ourselves, just like companies do. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to pull together different pieces of ourselves to create something new. Reinvention doesn't come from nothing. It comes from seeing ourselves in a new light.  John Tarnoff had a long career in the entertainment business. After his tech startup went bust, he decided to go back to school to earn a Master's degree in Spiritual Psychology – a branch of behavioral psychology that focuses on self-responsibility and self-forgiveness as pathways to healing and change.  Now, fifteen years later, as a career coach, author, and speaker, his mission is to support professionals over 50 – to redefine, build and sustain second-act careers beyond traditional retirement. John wrote a book on this called Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: Some myths about Boomer workers Why freelance work can be a great fit Why you need to find a tribe or network Why even with a W-2 job, you should think of yourself as a freelancer The importance of patience and persistence in working independently Now, for some action steps: Download the free worksheet: Three Steps You Need for a More Productive Workday Grab a copy of Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50 Check out John's Website John also co-hosts a LinkedIn Live show and podcast called: “The Second Act Show” Take Lynn's Encore Career Clarity Quiz Connect with Me: LinkedIn Facebook Please leave a Rating and Review: Since this podcast is new, I'm asking for Apple Podcasts reviews.

We've all attended a presentation only to leave and immediately forget everything we'd learned. Why does this happen? Likely, the presenter wasn't interactive, didn't make the presentation fun for everyone, and didn't tell stories. These common mistakes make the audience bored and unlikely to retain any information. Go here to listen → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/221 On the other hand, when presenters connect to the right energy, connect with their audiences,  and perform their presentations, the impact is amazing. Both the presenter and the audience members enjoy themselves and are left with a powerful takeaway. In this episode, I am talking with Rick Davis of the Davis Presentation Group about more strategies for giving effective presentations.  Rick can help you find ways to CONNECT to positive sources, PLAY with ideas and interests that energize you and make you come alive, and PERFORM in the role you were always meant to portray. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: The lessons Rick learned as he built his business and began helping people with presentations. First steps to becoming a better presenter.  The typical mistakes presenters make. How many points a presentation should have. How to utilize stories well in presentations. Taking the time to rehearse and develop our presentations. The impact of being more intentional about our presentations. General presentation formats you can use. The benefit of pauses while presenting. Now, for some action steps: Email Rick at rick@davispresentationgroup.com with the subject line “Lynn sent me.” The first 20 listeners to do so will get a 30-minute call with Rick to work on their presentation skills.

Willpower alone will never lead to success. It certainly won't help you create a successful Encore Career. You need more than willpower–you need habits.  Go here to listen → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/220 Today, I want to talk all about healthy habits and how to implement them. To help me do so, I'm going back over some ideas from the study, “Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement” by Edward Jones and AgeWave. They talk about the stages of retirement and the disorientation that comes with it.  When we retire, we disrupt the habits of work we've had for 30-40 years. All of a sudden, we're launched into a new environment. Additionally, in corporate life, you had a level of drive. You pushed through things and made it work. In your Encore Career, however, you only have so much drive.  All of this explains why we have to depend on routines, checklists, and habits to help support us as we create our new Encore Career. Tune in to learn how! We'll dive deeper into these concepts: How to create a new habit. How to identify the distractions that are getting in your way. Why tracking your habits is important. Why you need to stop being so hard on yourself. Four especially useful habits. The power of simplification. Application questions to ask yourself.

Prepare to have your perceptions of aging, work, and retirement shifted as we explore the profound potential of a 100-year life, inspired by the enlightening Stanford Study on Longevity. We dismantle the outdated notion of aging as a hard stop at 65 and delve into the need for a stage-based understanding of life – one where continual learning and multiple job transitions become the norm.  The New Map of Life project paints a hopeful picture of longevity. It suggests that lengthened lives can lead to transformative societal changes enabling us to redefine life itself – leading to more productive, meaningful, and healthier living at various life stages, not just in the golden years. With age as a significant part of the diversity equation, this conversation emphasizes the critical role of inclusivity in the scope of a 100-year life. We take a hard look at the retirement system and the potential to create return ships for those who've stepped away from the workforce. We also discuss how healthcare redesign can shift from treatment to prevention, building a healthier and more fulfilling life for all. We're confident that you'll walk away with a fresh perspective on the potential of a longer, healthier life and the opportunities it presents for personal growth and societal progress. Buckle up for an enriching and enlightening journey.

It's understandable. After all, who doesn't fear the unknown, the uncertainty that change brings with it? But here's the thing - change, especially when it comes to careers, doesn't have to be intimidating. Let's walk through this together.

Getting started as an entrepreneur can be a scary process. When you're accustomed to having a reliable paycheck from a company, the idea of creating your own income can be hard. But if you have the dream of entrepreneurship, it can be a hard one to shake. Starting a business often becomes a second career after working as an employee. A desire to set their own schedule, reap the benefits of the business's profits, and build something from the ground up are just some reasons people cite for transitioning into entrepreneurship. But it isn't easy, and there are some basic characteristics you need to have to make it a successful journey. In today's episode of Creating Your Encore Career, Chris Lalomia, owner of The Trusted Toolbox in Atlanta, Georgia, joins Lynn to talk about how he made the leap from a career in mechanical engineering to founding his successful handyman company. At 37 years old, he couldn't ignore his dream of owning a business any longer. It coincided with the recession of 2008, but he persevered, his company survived, and today, he has 40 employees in the metro Atlanta market. Chris Lalomia is still learning business lessons 14 years into his second career, and he shares some of his insights with Lynn.

Today's adults are living longer, healthier lives. In years past, when someone retired, they could expect to live another ten or 15 years, leaving plenty of time just to enjoy the fruits of a lifetime of hard work. But retirement can become less appealing when you're facing 20 or 30 years of nothing but leisure--and perhaps some boredom. It can be daunting to face starting a new career at 60, but an encore career can be rewarding in many ways. You may need to reposition yourself in the market to reflect your value proposition to fit your new career target. You might even need to polish your networking skills. With thoughtful planning, your encore career can be exactly what you envision. In this episode, Lynn's guest is Gina Riley, a career transition coach who teaches leaders and executives how to step into new careers. With her nine-step Career Velocity system, Gina works with her clients on marketing, LinkedIn, job searches, strategy, networking, and becoming thought leaders in their areas of expertise. Gina reveals some of her secrets to elevating her clients' confidence while guiding them toward their new career adventures. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: How Gina Riley transitioned from a career in HR to inventing a nine-step model designed for executives and leaders to help them navigate the messy middle Why an extended career has become even more important as we are living healthier and longer lives The amount of time having a growth mindset can add to your lifespan How Gina assists her clients in transitioning to a new career by laying the groundwork before the change Your value proposition in a new field and the role of a diverse network in your career transition The steps to build your value proposition in your encore career using Gina's recommended tools Why you should be approaching your encore career with a spirit of inquiry and curiosity How to create a unique value proposition and talk about it with confidence and clarity How she teaches her clients to become thought leaders The reason to start making a plan for your encore career before it's time to make the leap Now, for some action steps: Download the free worksheet: Three Steps You Need for a More Productive Workday Books by William Bridges: https://wmbridges.com/books/ Read: YouMap Visit Gina's website: https://ginarileyconsulting.com/ My Resources: A quick guide to help you get started on your Encore Journey encorecareermindset.com My Website https://www.lynnfriesth.com/ Please leave a Rating and Review: Since this podcast is new, I'm asking for Apple Podcasts reviews.
