About
I offer talks and workshops that help people over 50 who've been blindsided by job loss or life's hard turns build a real second act. Not through theory, but through 13 years on stage and four of my own career reinventions.
Blindsided: How I Reinvented My Career Four Times After 50
Webinar, Keynote, Seminar • 40 minutes for a webinar or virtual format. Up to 60 minutes for an in-person session or workshop, with time built in for Q&A.
I've been blindsided four times, and never by the same thing twice. A father's decline that upended a 13-year speaking career. A business lost overnight to a lowball competitor. A broken promise that cost me a job I'd given everything to. A layoff at 68, three weeks before Christmas. Caregiving, competition, betrayal, restructuring, the reasons are never the same. What's the same is what happens next: the rug gets pulled, and there's no cavalry coming. This session isn't about one kind of career blindside. It's about the pattern underneath all of them: the hit, the honest reaction, and the immediate move to rebuild. Then it hands your audience the same reframe and a practical next step, no matter what pulled the rug out. Tell me who's in the room, and I'll tell you which parts of the story fit them best.
