It is full of insights and practical advice for anyone looking to pivot in their career.
 

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Michelle Prince discuss:

• Navigating encore careers and career reinvention
• The challenges and rewards of professional transitions
• The role of mindset in embracing change
• The impact of a strong support network in career shifts
• Personal development as a key to long-term success
   

Key Takeaways:

• Career transitions can be intimidating, but embracing them with the right mindset allows for new opportunities, fulfillment, and a second chapter of success.
• Many professionals hesitate to make a change due to fear of the unknown, but taking small, intentional steps can help smooth the transition into an encore career.
• Surrounding yourself with supportive people—mentors, coaches, and peers—plays a critical role in successfully navigating career shifts and personal reinvention.
• Professional reinvention isn’t just about changing jobs; it’s about aligning your work with your values, strengths, and passions to create a more meaningful path forward.
   

“I wrote the book to be fully accessible to people who can’t afford or wouldn’t do a coaching engagement, but they might read a book about it, and might look at it as a guide and a self help.” — Michelle Prince
