Your reflection on the realities of aging in the workplace is both thought-provoking and relatable. You are right - ageism can be daunting, but it’s also an opportunity for personal growth and reinvention.

I admire your proactive approach to defining your next chapter, embracing new experiences, and leveraging your extensive skills. Here’s to forging ahead with courage and purpose!

I am also interested in the concept of ageism but from the perspective of an investment specialist and I write about this. Longevity presents many interesting opportunities as we as a society are living longer with increasing healthspans.

I am excited to see what comes next for you.

I love reading your thoughts on career, retirement and what's next.

I think many people find themselves in your situation when they reach a certain age and they realize that retirement is around the corner.

Your approach is spot on: have your skills inventory and match it with the things you are passionate about.

You previously mentioned you like coaching and you could totally start venturing in that space and slowly build your new career on the side.

I coach people between 29 and 80 years old and the conclusion is the same: today is the best day you will ever have to start something new.

You got this, Richard!
