One day you wake up and the world has changed. Your body changes, your relationships change and even your work changes. Your coworkers are starting to call you ma'am and you no longer feel relevant. You're not dead, but there is a tuck of urgency when you're suddenly acutely aware of that change. As you reassess and evaluate, you quickly figure out you have more time to give to specific projects than ever, except you're not sure where to start!
Just as there is halftime in sports, most of us need to take a moment and reflect on critical talking points and disruptive forces in our life at halftime. The decisions you make at halftime will largely determine how you will live the rest of your life. Will you merely face into the second half of life, operating with a tired and outdated strategy, living on autopilot? Or will you successfully reinvent yourself and climb to your personal peak of Hero Mountain? Only those who reach the top of Hero Mountain can describe and claim the vision at the peak! Determine your strategy at halftime with confidence to make your second half even better than your first, climbing your own Hero Mountain!
In addition to numerous stories and anecdotes, these principles are discussed: :
MINDSETS: An adverse mindset will negate everything else a woman builds as she climbs her personal Hero Mountain.
PURPOSE: A well-defined purpose or mission, along with a solid plan willbe the turbo engine that propels and empowers all the other cables for a successful climb.
COMPETENCY: Halftime can be an affirming time of life when we understand who we are, matched with what we truly want to pursue. Go through the Core Competency Denominator!
SKILLS: Developing new skills based on our competencies will increase opportunities to work in a field we love.
HABITS: A well-defined, healthy habit or routine will act as a management tool to bring success.
RELATIONSHIPS: Productive, healthy relationships feed our energy wit understanding and support for the climb.
