Listen "You Can’t Succeed In Your Career Without Ambition with: Wendy Alexander"
Episode Synopsis
Happiness in your career can be a fluctuating variable. The
definition of career success varies for everyone, especially women in midlife.
Balancing raising children, nurturing relationships, and finding time for
self-care, in addition to their careers and professional growth, can be
challenging for women.
According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly 65% of men say
they are happy with their jobs compared with 60% of women. The largest gaps in
satisfaction between men and women were related to the financial benefits of
work, such as wages, benefits, and bonuses. Meanwhile, workers aged 45 to 64
already constitute a massive 41% of the 2022 OECD workforce, up from 29% in
1990. As younger populations shrink, employers may want to rethink their job
recruitment and retention strategies to manage this new generational balance.
As individuals stay longer in the workforce, they’ll want to revisit their
career planning and adjust it for longer lives. The 2022 AARP Global Employee
Survey revealed that fully half of the 45+ workforce was hoping to change jobs
within three years. Will companies help or hinder them?
I’m Wendy Alexander, a career coach specializing in helping
mid-life professionals and menopausal women land their dream job. I have had a
unique journey, from life in apartheid South Africa to being held up at
gunpoint in my first job to becoming a single mom left with a crippling
mortgage, to climbing the corporate ladder, and now, living my best life
helping other people get their dream job. I offer a fresh perspective on career
discussions, focusing on mid-life career changes and menopause as a time to pursue
what you’ve always wanted, not just the 'good' job you've been told you should
do.
