  • A Search For Significance
    By: Evelyn Kalinosky, CRC | - While working on developing products and services for 2010, it occurred to me that I needed to ask a number of questions of the women I serve or hope to serve before I can create a telecourse, e-book, or any other product that is spot on. So I began to do just that, and have spent the past couple of months talking with women all across the corporate spectrum about their pain points, their challenges, their goals and passions. I wanted to get a better handle on what ignites a fire in the belly of ...

  • Morality And Dish Network Channels
    By: Michael William | - Dish network channels showcase a diverse range of content. Theres something for every age group, be it for toddlers, teens, tweens, middle-aged or simply aged. If you are looking for an issue that you feel about, theres something on satellite TV to help you cope with whats on your mind. Because of the issues that are dealt on dish TV channels, the moral police sometimes take up cudgels and censor content shown on these channels. This brings us to the topic: how much is morality a part o ...

  • Men's Style Conundrums: Graphic Tees
    By: Hendrik Pohl | - Non-plain t-shirts are an age-old fashion minefield for many men. Solid crew neck and plain wifebeater shirts are known as pieces that you can wear with anything, but add print to the equation and you'll be in a completely different ball game. Some would say that no man over the age of 20 should be seen in a graphic tee, while others claim that it's a valid way to exhibit a rebellious streak. Which one better follows the edicts of modern style?

    The Graphic Crowd

  • Estrogen And Menopause, The Balancing Act
    By: Ana Hernandez | - Several lifetimes ago or so it seems, I'd be bouncing down the hospital wards in a lab coat overflowing with books, manuals, loose scribbly notes & whatever else fit in the small spaces in between- armed & ready for the call to action. No matter what problems my patients would pose I was certain to be carrying the toolbox full of working solutions.

    I remember clearly, the 'smarty pants' colleague passing by on one late evening, like two lost ships drifting close on a dark n' foggy ...

  • Midlife Transition "" A "do Over" For Women?
    By: Evelyn Kalinosky, CRC | - Someone asked me the other day why I refuse to refer to the transition that occurs for most women in midlife as a crisis. While its true that the word crisis means a crucial or decisive point or situation, or a turning point, it also has about it an air of instability and upheaval. Theres a negative connotation to the word, which perpetuates the stereotype of women being emotional and irrational. While both men and women experience the inevitability of midlife, its largely w ...

  • Conquering The Fear Factor Older Managers And Young Turks1
    By: sunder | - Its a valid fear. There s absolutely no doubt that some corporations are willing to ditch their over-50 management whom they feel sure will lose their edge sooner or later anyway in order to put brilliant, revolutionary Young Turks in their positions. In their fanatical desire to get an edge on the competition and insight into new market potential, what these corporations often forget is that the new generation is not well known for a strong work ethic, people skills or company loyalty.

  • Working For Yourself In Midlife With A Career Change
    By: Ruthan Brodsky | -
    The trend for boomers leaving the corporate world and starting their own business started in the late 1990s and gradually grew for the next ten years. This economy has pushed the trend to a new level.

    In the early movement for midlife entrepreneurship the questions were:
    Is this all there is? Now what? These were particularly difficult questions for women who became empty nesters. Many of them started their own business because they did not want to retire in five y ...

  • When Is The Right Time For Consulting?
    By: P. K. Milne DPC CPC MBA BBA | - Self-knowledge is a process that continues as long as you are alive. There is no beginning and no end. Questioning yourself about your needs, personality type, strengths and weaknesses and your values is just a start. You should try to develop a day-to-day awareness of your behavior and attitude toward the myriad aspects of your life and consulting work.

  • You Are Not Who You Were, Only Older
    By: Evelyn Kalinosky, CRC | - I turned 50 this past December, and guess what? My life isnt over. I didnt slide down that slippery slope of aging I kept hearing about. If anything, the most amazing thing happened. I woke up. I have morphed into my authentic self like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. I was as surprised as anyone to experience this awakening, since I believed much of the rhetoric that abounds about decline, depression, and despair being hallmarks of aging. I felt that angst in my 30s, but througho ...

  • Identity Theft: 5 Ways Career Women Can Deal With Professional Identity Loss In Retireme
    By: Evelyn Kalinosky, CRC | - When Brenda retired from her high-level corporate job at the age of 57, she didnt know what to do with herself. She got up each morning at 6:00 a.m., as she had done for the past 26 years, put on a suit, ate a quick breakfast, and slipped out of the house as shed always done. Only now she had nowhere to go. For the first few weeks she wandered around aimlessly, not able to talk to anyone. Starbucks became her home-away-from-home as she spent hours each day at a table in the corner by the w ...

    By: Evelyn Kalinosky, CRC | - For women, the second half of life brings with it many career choices and questions.

  • Plan Out Your Yearly Vision For The Retirement Life You Really Want
    By: Tracey Fieber | - When creating your retirement plan (and getting the life you've always dreamed) it seems most corporate executives and solo entrepreneurs hope for the best. You keep doing what you've always been doing and don't have a strategy for creating the life you'd truly be deeply happy with. This is a big mistake, and just doesn't make sense. Think about it, you've been planning your entire lives, that's what made you so good at what you do. Why is it that when you retire you think you don't need a plan ...

  • Overcoming Your Perfection Paralysis In Retirement
    By: Tracey Fieber | - Have you ever become a victim of your own perfection paralysis when it comes to doing things yourself? I talked to a few friends who have been toying with the idea of getting together for months but haven't done anything about it. The problem is they're waiting to have everything complete, a place arranged, other things placed on hold, and have a list of places they would want to go, things to see, destinations to discover before actually selecting a date and getting it done. NONSENSE!

  • Aim To Over-fill Your Retirement
    By: Tracey Fieber | - Too many people have an up-and-down flow of friends, especially successful entrepreneurs and professionals. Some months they have almost too many things to do, places to go, and people to see, and are WAY too busy, and other months, they're feeling like famine, wishing they had people to do things with. I've been there in the past, and there's nothing worse than experiencing those two extremes on a regular basis. It'll make you want to go back to a regular job for good, just for the consistent c ...

    By: Abigail Aaronson | - Growing older is never easy. For many men the disparity between who they feel like inside and how they actually look is shocking.

    But even the most vigorous of exercisers can't fight saggy skin, fat in unpleasant sections of their midsections and wrinkles that they seem to dictate one's age to anyone els ...
