Making the decision to change your career requires courage, and making a smooth change requires wisdom, clarity and strategy. Anyone who chooses to change their career will face challenges, and this does not get easier with age. As we face the challenges our confidence can be eroded, bit by bit or through some nasty incident.

The biggest difference between a confident person and someone who lacks confidence is that the confident person recognises that they have choices and they are prepared to back their decisions. Even if your confidence is still not strong take the time to consider the options that you currently have.

Motivating Danish Employees: Tips and Tricks for International ManagersKay Xander Mellish
If you're an international manager in Denmark, how can you motivate your Danish team? More money won't always do it, and neither will fancy titles or additional responsiblity. Kay Xander Mellish, the author of "How To Work in Denmark", offered these insights on Danish working culture and Danish employee engagement to a network of expat managers in Denmark in Aarhus on January 17, 2019.
Work-Life Balance For Passionate Geeks - #OpenWestJoshua Warren
Work-life balance is touted in job postings everywhere - but what does it really mean? If you’re a passionate developer that’s excited about the technology you work with every day, you probably spend a fair bit of time outside of the office doing something that looks a lot like what you do at work. Even if you’re excited about your work, it’s important to find ways to rest, recharge and disconnect periodically. After spending 7 years building a team of passionate developers, I’ve learned that everyone approaches work-life balance differently, with vastly different results.
Here is a presentation which facilitates the learner to know what is Work life Balance? Gives us tips to balance work and life, and also emphasis the importance of work life balance through comical strips. This presentation can clearly frame a outlook of Work life balance.
This was a presentation given by Jimmy Young, Senior Practice Manager at Lloyds Banking Group, to the APM Scotland branch membership in Edinburgh in September 2014.
Jimmy's presentation provided an insight into how Lloyds performance manage, assign and develop their project managers in a £1.5billion+ portfolio of projects delivering over 33,000 changes a year. A key component of this work is the personal resilience of the colleagues and their ability to cope with stress in both personal and business life.
Increasing recognition of the importance of the work/life balance and the true cost of stress in the workplace was spectacularly illustrated by the problems faced by their own CEO António Horta-Osório in 2011.
Antonio recovered and was able to return to his post but now has a support infrastructure in place to prevent overwork. This ethos is now prevalent throughout Lloyds with the acknowledgement that “sometimes it is OK not to be OK” and staff are supported by people like Jimmy who can help them to develop resilience and redress the work/life balance if they are feeling pressurised or stressed.
Jimmy handed out a “How balanced is your life?” worksheet that the audience were able to fill in before and after his talk and then do some self-analysis on areas which might be a cause for concern. We also grappled with the question “which way round does the toilet roll go?” (Jimmy and I disagree on this!) and why some seemingly trivial things can be trigger points for underlying issues. Lloyds is building a caring, modern workplace where there is a collective responsibility and sense of community resulting in, unsurprisingly, happier and more productive employees.

Work-Life Balance. Is that a real thing? What defines it? Who defines it? All valid
questions, and we’re here to tell you there is no right answer. We went ahead

what they have to say.
In today’s’ stressful times, balancing between work and home can prove to be quite challenging.

Job Interview From A Child’s PerspectiveJenni Proctor
Before I was a Career Counsellor and Coach I worked as a Teacher Librarian for many years. There were many things I loved about this work, the best part being the kids. I never tired of their fresh outlook on the world, the way they could take an idea and expand it to make it their own.
It seems that the threat of redundancy is circulating in many major companies right now. With that threat comes worry and a massive sense of insecurity. No-one knows what is going to happen. No-one feels that they have any control over the decisions that are being made further up the food chain. Morale declines. Friends and colleagues know that it may come down to "you vs me". It's not a good place to be! For more information visit us at http://boomersnextstep.com

Millennials already have a rough reputation when it comes to the workplace. The world seems to view you us as a group of “self-entitled” individuals only concerned about personal success and happiness. I think this stereotype overlooks what the millennial generation has to offer in the workplace.
14 Things Every Young Pro Should Know About Life & BusinessRoss Simmonds
Young Professionals today have a bad rep. People call them lazy, unprofessional, entitled and 100s of other negative associations. At the end of the day, young professionals have to take control of their own lives and create their own rules. In this deck, I highlight 14 things that every young professional should know about life and business.
Utilizing methods from cosmetic surgery to miracle diets to
liposuction, women in increasing numbers are endeavoring-with a

match the elemental template of beauty.
Sometimes despite the very obvious, with age we fail to realize and acknowledge that some of our actions knowingly or unknowingly have significant impact on our as well others lives. One such wrong notion believed by people above age of 60 is that their interpretation of remaining fit as synonymous to being employed.
This article does not offer any great insight rather it is an attempt to give new perspective to Declutter our mind. The views expressed in this article have no intentions of hurting the sentiments of older people rather it is an attempt to bridge the gap and to understand the obvious that aging is irreversible process and one must learn to age gracefully.
Very soon I too will be starting my second innings....

You should be enthusiastic about starting your own company and managing it in order to be a business entrepreneur. There are several threats involved in this business, you have to be prepared for it.

Understanding Recruiters: They Stand Between You And Your Future JobJenni Proctor
If you are looking for a new job, chances are high that you will need to meet with a recruiter or two during your job search. It is important to understand what their role is so that you start off with the appropriate expectations.
Complacency is one of the greatest enemies of the mature worker. If you aren’t growing in your role, learning new skills, open to new and better ways of doing things, you can be sure that someone else around you will be. Often people who are caught unaware by a redundancy recognize, too late to save their job, that they have not proactively adapted within their role or have not been attuned to the politics of what was happening around them.
A study undertaken at Berlin’s Max Planck Institute for Human Development compared the consistency of workplace performance and reliability of older workers aged 65 to 80 years old with younger workers aged 20 – 31 years old.
Many people live with the fear of redundancy for months before they experience its reality. Many others fear what might happen, but find that their job is secure.
If you are facing the possibility of redundancy it is important to be prepared. Taking simple steps to be prepared will help you avoid the feeling of things being out of your control. It is empowering to know that you are ready, no matter what happens. This presentation shares 8 simple steps you can take.

5 Steps To Regain Your Confidence - Courage and Wisdom
1. Five Steps To Regain
Your Confidence
When It’s Been Shattered
Courage and Wisdom
2. Face Challenges With Courage And
Wisdom
Making the decision to change your career requires courage, and making a smooth
change requires wisdom, clarity and strategy. Anyone who chooses to change their
career will face challenges, and this does not get easier with age. As we face the
challenges our confidence can be eroded, bit by bit or through some nasty incident.
Rebuilding or maintaining a strong healthy confident outlook on life is, in itself, a
challenge! That is magnified by the challenges that everyone has to deal with, but if
you know what is ahead you can be ready to manage your reactions.
3. Let’s consider some common challenges faced by mature workers when they are
changing their career:
Your age
New occupations and industries
Stereotypes
Self-assessment
Reinventing yourself
Your age
Let’s face it – your age is what it is and there is nothing you can do about it. If you
need to change the colour of your hair, lose weight or obtain more qualifications
then there is something you can do to make these things happen. With your age,
there is not one thing you can do! So put your birth date aside and get on with facing
the challenges you can conquer, fighting the battles that you can win. There is no
point in dwelling on your age as an issue.
4. New occupations and industries
Wanting to change your job is one thing but making the decision to pursue a new career is
another thing altogether. Many want to do it, but few have the courage and determination to
follow through!
During your working life many new occupations and even industries have appeared, but, unless
you have had the opportunity to gain skills through your current work, many mature workers are
unaware of some of the new jobs that exist. To overcome this challenge and gain a
contemporary perspective do some research on areas with which you are not familiar. This can
be done by looking at job ads in newspapers and on the internet. By all means consider a career
change but don’t limit yourself just to the jobs you already know. Give yourself the widest range
of options!
Stereotypes
Society today seems to be dominated by youth and beauty. Maybe it was always like this, but
when we were young and beautiful (and sadly most of us didn't realise we were at the time!) we
thought it was perfectly normal. Now it seems ageist to us! The media go wild about ‘beautiful
young things’. Many television programs cater for and star young people. However look a little
harder and you will see that there are many mature workers involved in every industry.
5. Age is a common stereotype. The image of an older worker who is slow to learn, set in their
ways and dull to have around is full of prejudice and stereotype. It is also blatantly not accurate
for most people. However ageism, sadly, is alive and well. Nevertheless, let’s face facts here;
some older people are indeed slow, finicky and dull. But so are some younger people!
What you have to avoid is falling into the trap of perpetuating that image. You are looking for
work in the 21st century. Workplaces are contemporary and you need to be contemporary also
in order to be considered a suitable employee. Don’t dress like a 25 year old, and conversely,
don’t go to work looking like your grandmother. You don’t need to be the computer whizz kid in
the workplace, but you must have the appropriate level of skills for your job. You can wear your
glasses to read, but don’t make a big deal about the fact that you can’t read without them. Get
the idea? Be your best self in the workplace, not some caricature of your age.
Even if ageism and stereotypes are common you can overcome these challenges. While many
employers seem to favour young workers there are also many employers who welcome older
staff members. They appreciate experience and reliability. You have those qualities in spades.
Break free of the stereotypical mould by showing them what you are capable of. If you believe
that you will encount age discrimination then you will find it everywhere you go, so don't go
looking for it. Your challenge is to communicate that you are capable, talented, reliable,
enthusiastic and definitely a person worth hiring.
6. Self-assessment
Perhaps the biggest challenge to
many people is their own opinion of
themselves. Many older workers ask
themselves, “Is this all there is?”
They wonder if they will ever do
anything exciting and worthwhile in
their working life. And if they do want
to try something new, the biggest
handicap is their lack of belief in
themselves.
7. So, what do YOU think of yourself? Be honest
and look at yourself as a stranger would with
regard to your
pride in your appearance
drive and energy
willingness to learn new things
self-esteem
open-mindedness.
8. Reinvent your image
If you aren’t happy with your personal rating of yourself do something about it. Making
changes to improve your image and attitude will impact on your self-esteem and self-confidence.
When you have a strong self-image, changing your career is so much
easier. I recently saw a UK TV production about makeovers of two career women.
There was a huge difference in their self-esteem after the makeover. When they knew
they were smartly dressed and looking attractive they projected an entirely different
energy. What was fascinating was the reaction of the people they interacted with at
work who obviously viewed them differently because of their “new image”.
Now don't misinterpret my comments here as preaching. I'm writing them as much
for myself as for you. I would benefit from making many changes in this area of
life. So please understand that, although this may seem harsh it's what
many of us (myself included) need to hear.
