#53: Why It's NEVER Too Late To Reinvent Your Career (And How To Get Started) With Julie Matheson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you successful, with decades of experience in one profession -- but finding yourself at a career crossroads?
Whether you've hit the ceiling in your current field, are contemplating your next career chapter or wondering how to apply your expertise in a new direction, today's episode is for you.
I’m joined by Julie Matheson -- Founder of FinWise Leadership, speaker and mentor to financial planning professionals. Julie’s also a past client I had the pleasure of working with during her own career crossroads.
What I love about Julie’s story is how she’s used her wealth of experience (pun intended!) in financial planning to create a new career supporting others in her profession.
She’s proof it’s never too late to reinvent yourself -- and an example of how to take the skills you have and apply them in a different direction.
In this inspiring interview, we explore how she made this shift, her practical advice for senior leaders planning their next step -- and the importance of career conversations to develop and retain your team.
You'll learn:
- How Julie navigated a career crossroads after decades as a financial planner and non-executive director
- The dark side of independence as a high-achiever and how collaboration (not going at it alone) is essential to evolve your career
- Key financial considerations senior leaders need to assess before a career transition -- and why money should NEVER be the barrier to pursuing meaningful work
- Why Julie launched a business at a stage when many people choose to slow down in their careers -- and what motivates her in this new career chapter
- The biggest people challenges professional services firms are facing and how regular career conversations are a critical strategy to develop and retain high-performers
- How leaders create a culture of continuous conversations -- and individuals can proactively initiate them
- PLUS: Julie's honest experience of working together and how 1:1 coaching supported her through this period (if you're curious about working with me!)
So hit play NOW -- and let’s dive in!
