Dr. Prince recently wrote the book "Creating Your Encore Career," a #1 Best Seller Career Guide on Amazon. The book inspires people approaching retirement age but not quite ready for traditional full retirement to craft an Encore Career that provides personal fulfillment and flexibility. 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
