Disbelief. Shock. Anger. Sadness. All whirled together with self recrimination and my inner critic went into overdrive.

I had just been made redundant from a senior management position at age 52. Something I never saw coming.

I felt beyond hope. I thought, 'I'm too old. No one will ever employ me again. That's it, my working life is over'.

To escape this dark hole of self pity I was sinking into I employed a career consultant to help me map the next stage of my life. I mean, what happens after 50 when you're unemployed?

He helped me to see my skills, my strengths, my values and my potential for what I could be and set goals.

One day he said something very profound that changed my life. I was complaining about spending inordinate amounts of time applying for jobs I really didn't want but felt I SHOULD apply for.

He said 'Stop'. I said 'What?' he said 'Stop'.

This changed the conversation and the vision for my life. I started thinking not about getting a well paying management job but about creating a meaningful and fulfilling life.

This was a whole different conversation.

Instead of looking for a job and an income, I started creating a life that I could embrace and enjoy.

This was the start of the, Possibility of Us, where I help others who are lost create meaning out of despair.

Do I understand what it feels like to be completely lost and despairing? I sure do. And do I know how to get you on the path to a meaningful and fulfilling life? Absolutely.

Let me help you discover the possibility of your life.
