Marci Alboher: Careers in the 2nd Half of Your Life

We tend to think about our careers in a certain way.  One job title, one way and then retirement.  Marci Alboher has been here before and made me and my listeners think of jobs careers in a different way as slasher careers.

I am an example of a slasher career – radio talk show host, life coach, and swim coach/director of youth sports team.  Even when I was a college professor my title was full of slashes on the formal job description.

Marci returns to talk about a new way to think about the second half of our careers. Whether it came about due to a forced layoff, re-entering the work force after caring for your family, or a deep desire to do something different.  I invite you to listen to find out what could be possible for you:

“Everybody should make a choice that is best for them.”
