Two questions I'm asked regularly, are why and how I left the corporate environment to start my entrepreneurial journey in my fifties! As I recounted my journey with clinical psychologist Kimani Norrington-Sands, Ph.D. in a recent live discussion, it was clear to me that the feelings that drove my rationale were still strong. Furthermore, it supports my theory/research that our experiences in toxic work environments can impact our career making decisions far longer than we realize (I've had women recount incidents from 10 years ago that still makes them second guess their careers now)! In this episode I'm sharing my conversation, in the hope that it provides a little help if you feel too old to make a career pivot and more!  WHO AM I?

In this episode, I reflect on my mother's experience of losing her sense of purpose in midlife after retirement. Watching my mother go through this journey has been difficult, as she’s always been a vibrant and active person who loved her family and was passionate about her work. However, once she retired she struggled to find a new sense of meaning and purpose in life. I watched firsthand how the loss of purpose affected her mental and physical health, and I realized that this is a common experience for many women in midlife. Major changes in life such as retirement, children leaving home, job loss, can be a time of transition and reflection, and for some, it can be a challenge to find new sources of fulfillment and meaning. Through my mother's experience, I learned the importance of having a sense of purpose and its positive impact on life. I also discovered some practical strategies and exercises for rediscovering purpose in midlife, such as exploring personal values, strengths, and interests, and seeking out new opportunities for growth and connection. In this episode, I share my insights and reflections on my mother's journey and offer tips and advice for anyone struggling to find their purpose in midlife. Whether you're going through a similar experience or simply interested in this topic, I hope that this episode  will inspire and encourage you to rediscover your sense of purpose and live a more fulfilling life. So join me as I reflect on my mother's experience of losing purpose in midlife and the lessons I learned along the way. ---------------------------------------------------------- Download my free "5 Secrets Black Women Need To Know About Career Change After 40" guide here: https://janicesutherland.ck.page/5secretsblackwomenneedtoknow ---------------------------------------------------------- Did you enjoy this video? “Subscribe” to my weekly Monday Morning Motivation Message + Career design strategy, stories to inspire, events & programs for Mid-career Black women & access to information I only share with subscribers - direct to your inbox to support & guide your journey a fabulous midlife - https://janicesutherland.ck.page/newsletter ---------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about the Reinvention BluePrint for Women of Color program here: https://calendly.com/janicesutherland/reinventionblueprint   ____________________________________ FIND ME ON: Official Website | https://www.janicesutherland.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/iamjanicesutherland LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/This_Woman_Can YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/@thiswomancan Janice Sutherland helps frustrated, #mid-career, professional women of color re-align their careers while staying true to their values and personal and professional priorities.  #thiswomancan #careertransition #careerpivot  

Circumstances have forced me to be absent for a while, with good reason. To push the pause button on my business. But I've discovered that there is a kind of beauty hidden within an intentional pause. It's in those moments that we allow the beauty contained within it to break open, revealing its benefits onto the way we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us. When I decided to change careers a few years ago, I did it to have more time and freedom in my life. Never did I think that this decision would be the best decision I'd ever make when it came to my Mother.

The end of the year often signals the annual performance review.  For some women, these can feel like a minefield to navigate, from being uncertain how to articulate their performance,  navigating toxic bosses to microaggressions and more. But with the unbalanced career field for Black women, the importance of these conversations cannot be diminished.  For a process so often attached to important outcomes, from salary increases, bonus payments and promotions it’s no wonder these reviews can be an anxious time.       Recently I came across the term "protective hesitation" - the definition given was when a leader fails to give constructive criticism to an employee out of fear of being perceived as racist, sexist, homophobic, or any other prejudice.  Or as I’d prefer an appraiser not giving necessary feedback because they are worried about the appraisee’s reaction and want to avoid a difficult conversation. It’s definitely been an issue I’ve observed in my career and a factor highly pertinent to Black women. So let me share 8 tips to help you get the most out of your year end performance review.   Download my free "5 Secrets Black Women Need To Know About Career Change After 40" guide here: https://janicesutherland.ck.page/5secretsblackwomenneedtoknow ---------------------------------------------------------- Register for the 2022 Leverage Your Career Virtual Retreat | https://janicesutherland.ck.page/virtualretreat2022 ---------------------------------------------------------- Did you enjoy this video? “Subscribe” to my weekly Monday Morning Motivation Message + Career design strategy, stories to inspire, events & programs for Mid-career Black women & access to information I only share with subscribers - direct to your inbox to support & guide your journey a fabulous midlife - https://janicesutherland.ck.page/newsletter ---------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about the Reinvention BluePrint for Women of Color program here: https://calendly.com/janicesutherland/reinventionblueprint   ____________________________________ FIND ME ON: Official Website | https://www.janicesutherland.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/iamjanicesutherland LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/This_Woman_Can YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/@thiswomancan Janice Sutherland helps frustrated, #mid-career, professional women of color re-align their careers while staying true to their values and personal and professional priorities.  #thiswomancan #careertransition #careerpivot

After over 25 years of being in my corporate career, I was unhappy. I was the definition of “stuck.” I had a career I thought I loved and was great at, but it just wasn’t enough.  And it showed, I was burnt out, exhausted and uninspired by my work. The challenge was that at this stage of my life, I didn’t have the foggiest as to what else I could do without feeling like I was completely starting over.  Nothing I thought of offered me a solution that made sense. I had already worked so hard that I didn’t want to make a mistake, fail and lose everything.  I felt like I was out of options.   So what did I do?  ---------------------------------------------------------- Did you enjoy this podcast? “Subscribe” to my weekly Monday Morning Motivation Message + Career design strategy, stories to inspire, events & programs for Mid-career Black women & access to information I only share with subscribers - direct to your inbox to support & guide your journey a fabulous midlife - https://janicesutherland.ck.page/newsletter ---------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about the Reinvention BluePrint for Women of Color program here: https://calendly.com/janicesutherland/reinventionblueprint   ____________________________________ FIND ME ON: Official Website | https://www.janicesutherland.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/iamjanicesutherland LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/This_Woman_Can YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx3J9vmdKueDI0Mbks4qftg Janice Sutherland helps frustrated, #mid-career, professional women of color re-align their careers while staying true to their values and personal and professional priorities.  #thiswomancan #careertransition #careerpivot

When you've accrued many years of skills, experience and accolades, it can be difficult to succinctly articulate why you're an ideal candidate for a role.  It can become even more daunting when trying to demonstrate how your skillset can be applied to a role  or industry you've never worked in before, when you want to transition your career. And if you've ever thought "there's no way that my working in X can be ever be used to have a career in Y", then you're wrong!  In either of these scenarios it is possible, you just need to be clear on your career origin story. ---------------------------------------------------------- Did you enjoy this video? “Subscribe” to my weekly  Monday Morning Motivation Message + Career design strategy, stories to inspire, events & programs for Mid-career Black women & access to information I only share with subscribers - direct to your inbox to support & guide your journey a fabulous midlife - https://janicesutherland.ck.page/newsletter ---------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about the Reinvention BluePrint for Women of Color program here: https://calendly.com/janicesutherland/reinventionblueprint   ____________________________________ FIND ME ON: Official Website | https://www.janicesutherland.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/iamjanicesutherland LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/This_Woman_Can YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx3J9vmdKueDI0Mbks4qftg Janice Sutherland helps frustrated, #mid-career, professional women of color re-align their careers while staying true to their values and personal and professional priorities.  #thiswomancan #careertransition #careerpivot

There’s not one Black Woman I know who hasn’t experienced it. Those seemingly innocuous comments/actions;     “No, where are you really from?”  “You speak so well” “When did YOU qualify?” “No need to be so angry about XYZ!” “Oh I can’t pronounce that, is it ok if I just call you…..?: “We can’t let you go on that program right now, there’s far too much to do” (when your white colleague is studying away from the office every week) And the list goes on - I’m sure you can add your own.  With the transition to working in person is on and organizations are encouraging people back to the office but for some Black women, they’re feeling the stress of returning to a space that never felt safe to them.  Microaggressions are subtle forms of racial discrimination, compared to explicit forms such as racial slurs. They're often more subtle, seemingly innocuous, covert, indirect, and ambiguous but still cumulatively impactful because they can happen more frequently.  To quote one of my clients; “ Microaggressions are heavy. People think just outright racism is the heaviest, but microaggressions are heavier because it's like the undercurrent that you can't quite put your finger on but you know it ain’t feeling right” With the intersection of their marginalized identities of race, gender and age, mid-career Black women are particularly vulnerable to negative stereotypes that create barriers to career advancement. So how do you navigate the microaggression minefield and minimize the impact on your career?  My guest Rebbecca Hemmings - Founder and Director of Strawberry Words Training and Development Company and I, discuss how to navigate microaggressions at work without impacting your career.  The next LinkedIn live is scheduled 9th August 2022 12pm EST where I'll be hosting Julie Turney Founder & CEO HR@Heart Consulting Inc. and  Heneka Watkis-Porter Podcast Coach & Producer/Author at  The Entrepreneurial You  - on the topic of Burnout in Black Women It'll be a great and engaging conversation so make sure you connect with me on LinkedIn to join us, submit your questions and have your voices heard. https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland And if you prefer to listen to our discussion, subscribe to the This Woman Can on your favourite podcast platform.  _____________________________________ Sign up for my weekly newsletter to receive information and advice for the Woman of Color who wants more from their career    https://janicesutherland.ck.page/newsletter ____________________________________ FIND ME ON: Official Website | https://www.janicesutherland.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/iamjanicesutherland LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/This_Woman_Can YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx3J9vmdKueDI0Mbks4qftg Janice Sutherland helps frustrated, #mid-career, professional women of color re-align their careers while staying true to their values and personal and professional priorities.  #thiswomancan #careertransition #careerpivot

I speak with mid-career Black female professionals every day about what they want, and what they don't want, and most are doing something they no longer want to do, but they're doing it anyway. 'Why?' They're trapped in their comfort zone. This is when the comfort of the situation outweighs your desire to go after what you really want, even though you're not satisfied with your current career or job. It can go on for years and years and no matter what's presented to you, or how uninspiring your current situation is, you can always find a reason why you can't change. So, how do you know if you're locked in your career comfort zone and more importantly how do you get out? ---------------------------------------------------------- Join The This Woman Community - An online community membership for Black women fully embracing the next chapter, with the intent of creating a fresh approach to our 40s, 50s and beyond.  Providing  a safe space for Black women to discuss the career issues and challenges unique to us, helping them to re-align their careers while staying true to their personal values and professional priorities.   https://www.thiswomancan.coach/this-woman-can ---------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for my weekly newsletter to receive information and advice for the Woman of Color who wants more from their career    https://janicesutherland.ck.page/newsletter ____________________________________ FIND ME ON: Official Website | https://www.janicesutherland.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/iamjanicesutherland LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/This_Woman_Can YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx3J9vmdKueDI0Mbks4qftg Janice Sutherland helps frustrated, #midcareer, professional women of color re-align their careers while staying true to their values and personal and professional priorities.  #thiswomancan #careertransition #careerpivot

In this edition of Black, Female and Over 50 - The Power Trifecta we discuss the importance of understanding your triple minority status in the recruitment world as a necessary part of navigating the recruitment field. Especially as over the next 20 year's the 60+ generation will grow by 40% and within just 2 years one in two of the workforce will be over 50. The pandemic has been especially hard on older employees seeking to reclaim jobs lost in the early days of lockdowns. Many say they fear that the workplace upheaval brought on by Covid-19 has reinforced some bosses’ belief that professionals in their 50s and beyond are less inclined to return to offices or adapt to new ways of working. With the Great Resignation being a concern for organizations, they're now turned on to the idea of employing "older" workers but there's a looming dichotomy within the methods and processes of recruitment which can oft be alienating for Black Women in the recruitment process. In this conversation we discuss how to navigate the employment process in a post pandemic and AI driven world. Guest panelists were Brucine Francis a Recruitment Director with over 20 years experience in the recruitment agency field and Daisy Wright - Founder & CEO of The Wright Career Solution who for over 15 years has coached numerous executives, managers and mid-career professionals to attaining new roles .

Many Black women struggle to set workplace boundaries. There are multiple factors that contribute to this issue, from cultural norms, gender biases, personal insecurities, and external pressures.  Often, we've been taught that what other people need from us is more important than how we’re feeling, which is why we feel the need for others' needs ahead of our own.

It's another installment of Black, Female and Over 50 - The (UnderValued) Power Trifecta When you reach an age - (50+), you can guarantee that someone has an opinion about how you should be conducting yourself as a mature woman. And when it comes to how we dress, the opinions really fly! "What age does she think she is?" "She trying to act young" "She mutton dressed as lamb" "Why can’t she dress her age?" As women age they face a particular societal code that determines what is deemed "appropriate" to wear, which can lead to a fear of expressing oneself authentically, becoming almost invisible as to not risk ridicule or rejection from society. But how do those biases translate to the working world and women's careers? Join Personal stylist @Renee Lindo and I as we discuss: - How important a role does appearance play for career women over 50? - Who makes the rules about what not to wear past 50? - Should women "disguise" their age? - How does the way women feel about their dress impact their confidence? - How can women dress to accommodate the physical impact of menopause at work.

If you thought that student debt was exclusive to those under 40, you'd be sadly mistaken.  Statistics show that Black women have been obtaining degrees at a consistently high rate for the last eight years and counting. Black women are and continue to be some of the most educated and qualified , working on the premise that they have to work twice as hard to be recognized at work or how I was raised - be 10X better than our Caucasian counterparts.  And when it comes to changing careers, one of the first thoughts women have is that they need further qualifications, often at a considerable financial commitment attached on top of the debt usually already accrued Briana  "Bri"  Franklin Founder, President & CEO of The Prosp(a)rity Project She is a businesswoman, philanthropist and student debt expert/thought  leader with a passion for socioeconomic and holistic empowerment of  Black girls and women. Having taken on a financial burden that eventually ballooned to nearly $120K in student debt through her undergraduate studies, Bri developed an acute appreciation for the challenges many student debt holders experience, including diminished ability to establish financial independence, take advantage of personal freedoms, such as starting a family/homebuying, launch business ventures as well as creditworthiness. In recognizing the extent to which other Black women in particular experience adversity at the hands of the $1.7T student debt crisis as well as lack of financial literacy, she formed The Prosp(a)rity Project as a solution for eradicating these systemic barriers.  The annual 35*2 Free Financial Empowerment Conference takes place Thursday 19th May, an event is devoted to drawing further attention to the $35B in student debt & 35% financial literacy rate that put Black women at a sharp socioeconomic disadvantage. The event is packed with panels, keynotes, and activities centered around cultivating financial literacy for Black Women at levels - from college graduates to seasoned professionals.  CONNECT WITH BRIANA:   Website: https://www.theprosparityproject.org/ 35*2 Free Financial Empowerment Conference Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tpps-2nd-annual-352-free-financial-empowerment-conference-tickets-260610532117 ---------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for my weekly newsletter to receive information and advice for the Woman of Color who wants more from their career    https://janicesutherland.ck.page/newsletter ____________________________________ FIND ME ON: Official Website | https://www.janicesutherland.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/iamjanicesutherland LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjanicesutherland Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/This_Woman_Can YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx3J9vmdKueDI0Mbks4qftg Janice Sutherland helps frustrated, #mid-career, professional women of color re-align their careers while staying true to their values and personal and professional priorities.  #thiswomancan #careertransition #careerpivot
