EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, we dive into the journey of turning setbacks into successes, especially for those who have been out of the job market for a significant period. Our guest John Tarnoff, a trusted advisor and thought leader, shares personal experiences from a career in the volatile entertainment industry, where being fired 39% of the time became a catalyst for reinvention. Drawing from years of teaching senior-level professionals how to secure great jobs despite ageism and a broken hiring system, John offers contrarian advice that challenges conventional wisdom: Don't follow your passion; find your usefulness. Passion is fleeting, but your skills and how you can be of service are enduring. Your resume won't get you hired. It's about demonstrating your value in ways that resonate beyond paper. Assessments are pointless. Focus on showcasing your real-world impact instead. Stop applying to jobs you can do; attract the jobs you were born to do. Your unique abilities and experiences make you the perfect fit for specific roles. Confidence comes last. Don't wait for it; act first and let confidence follow. We explore how to stop complaining about ageism and instead, actively demonstrate your value. This episode provides actionable insights on reinventing yourself, overcoming outdated business cultures, and navigating the job market with a fresh, empowered perspective. Tune in to learn how to transform your career setbacks into your most significant comebacks.   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS: John Tarnoff on Social Media: Book: Boomer Reinvention: How to Create Your Dream Career Over 50 Facebook LinkedIn X Chan With A Plan

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 Tarnoff is an executive and career transition coach, speaker, and author who supports mid and late-career professionals in defining, planning, and achieving more meaningful and sustainable careers.  Fired 39% during his 35 years as a film producer, studio executive, and tech entrepreneur, he learned how to turn setbacks into successes in a volatile business. He reinvented his career at 50, earning a master's degree in spiritual psychology to share his lessons with others facing similar challenges.  He is the author of the best-selling book, "Boomer Reinvention: How to Create your Dream Career Over 50" and has created four courses on the multi-generational workforce for LinkedIn Learning. Some of the topics we discussed include: In networking, you should follow your “A B G”       (“Always, Be, Giving”): think first about what you can do to support the people in your network before asking for help. Worry about how you can meet someone that can refer you for the job – don't worry about what the job description says about the role. The role you want in the future needs to connect with your values. Follow three keys in searching for your next great job 1. Focus on your Superpower (what you do best)  2. Build a Community  (like-minded colleagues to refer you to opportunities) 3. Become a Thought     Leader (Stand up for what you stand for, build trust and credibility). The career you want is already inside of you: follow your inner knowing and intuition. Question the negative messages that will come at you. To create your future, you need to reconcile your past: clear emotional baggage and limiting beliefs.These are just a few of the great ideas and suggestions John shared.  I hope you enjoyhis experiences, thought leadership, and energy as much as I did.  Thankyou for listening to this episode of “People in Transition”.

Fired 39% of the time in his career as a Los Angeles-based film producer, studio executive, and tech entrepreneur, John Tarnoff had learned the secrets of turning setbacks into successes. And when his tech startup folded at the end of the dotcom bubble in 2001, his "aha moment" happened - sending him back to school at age 50 to earn a master's degree in spiritual psychology.  Pivoting to a focus on people and career counseling, John networked his way to a new role as Head of Show Development at DreamWorks Animation from 2006-09. In this position, he developed culture-changing creative leadership training and college recruiting programs, now used by top universities and corporate clients.  Author of Boomer Reinvention: How to Create Your Dream Career Over 50, John shares his experiences in this episode and offers actionable strategies to those looking to find a meaningful job for the second half of life that can be not only financially successful, but personally fulfilling as well!

John Tarnoff is a non-traditional, career transition coach. A veteran of Hollywood, John was fired 7 times over the course of his lengthy career in entertainment. At age 50, he decided to go back to school and earned a master's degree in spiritual psychology. Pivoting to a focus on people and career counseling, he eventually wrote "Boomer Reinvention: How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50." He is frequently interviewed by top tier media (CBS This Morning, Forbes, CNBC, Market Watch and Next Avenue to name a few) on the topic of career transition. Click here for more information on John Tarnoff's unusual coaching practice.

“That career you want, that unretirement career, second career, sustainable career over 50 is already inside you,” encourages John Tarnoff, Career Transition Coach. John joins Mike Horne in conversation to talk about midlife career transitions and finding purpose in a new career later in life.  Many people are held back by the limiting belief that once they reach a certain age, they can no longer have a fulfilling career. Through coaching exercises, John helps his clients realize their potential and defy ageist stereotypes. Mostly it comes down to engaging the imagination and helping clients gain the confidence to believe and trust in themselves. We are living longer, and by midlife many people experience a mindset shift that encourages them to look for more profound meaning. This meaning can often be found in a new career. Tune into this week's episode of the Authentic Change Podcast to learn more about defying ageism in the workforce and the potential for finding a meaningful new career at age 50 and beyond.  Quotes: “We're living longer. We still want to work. We're a generation that is very motivated by work, and get a lot of meaning and purpose out of that. What are we going to do? So I came up with a prescription, a kind of a self responsible prescription for how people can go about evading the ageist workforce and the broken recruiting and hiring system and sustaining and prolonging their careers.” (5:22-5:53 | John) “That career you want, that unretirement career, second career, sustainable career over 50 is already inside you. On some deep level, we already know what it is that we want to do. That thing we do best, which is the thing that is most useful. But on the other side of it, getting back to the question of baggage, in order to create that career, in order to create that future, we have to reconcile the past.” (13:02-13:32 | John) “Getting out of our heads and back into our hearts is where I see a lot of the work.” (18:42-18:49 | John) Links: Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Find more about Leading People and Culture with Authenticity   Learn more about John Tarnoff: Johntarnoff.com  https://www.linkedin.com/in/johntarnoff/    Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
