156 - Winning at Change and Transition in Your Career - with Gary Wilkin

We all face times of change and transition - perhaps especially to retirement. What does that look like and how do we best prepare?

Gary Wilkin is a Licensed Ziglar Coaching System Professional who combines his 40+ years in corporate America with the Ziglar philosophy to guide seasoned professionals through the transition from corporate careers to what's next in their lives.

We Discuss:

  • The keys to transitioning from our careers to 'post-corporate' life
  • Retirement, self-employment, or volunteering
  • Determining what you really want to become and why
  • A simple step-by-step approach to getting started
  • What is Loss of Identity?

Gary's Top Tips:

  • Understand the power of choice - consciously choosing what you want to be, do, and have allows you to craft a life of meaning and purpose
  • To transform your life you need 3 things:
  • 1. Desire - a clear vision of what you want to become
  • 2. Hope - the belief that becoming that person will give your life meaning and purpose
  • 3. Grit - Identifying and working relentlessly to develop the skills, knowledge, attitude and habits to become the person you desire
