Career 2.0: Mid-Career Transition for the Over-50 Executive

06/08/23 • 14 min

In this episode of Borderless Executive Live, our host Andrew Kris, founding partner of Borderless, is joined by Anthony Harling, founding partner of Harlschon Consulting. Anthony specializes in executive transition and coaching, particularly for those facing challenges in finding their passion and place over the age of 50 in a new career.

It’s true that you’re never too old to reinvent yourself, and with both life expectancy and the retirement age ever increasing, we are living and working longer. But in reality, later in life we face a very different work environment and recruitment processes.

Andrew and Anthony bring this issue to light in this episode and discuss how to navigate the challenges that many of us will inevitably face.

The Harlschon Consulting three-step approach (Rediscover, Reset, Re-engage) focuses on discovering the right path for executives looking to transition to a new role, in the latter stages of a career.
