    REPLAY: Boomer Reinvention with John Tarnoff

    Today, we're listening to a replay of one of our favorite episodes with John Tarnoff. Tune in to listen here → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/224 As Boomers, we have to constantly reinvent ourselves, just like companies do. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to pull together different pieces of ourselves to create something new. Reinvention doesn't come from nothing. It comes from seeing ourselves in a new light.  John Tarnoff had a long career in the entertainment business. After his tech startup went bust, he decided to go back to school to earn a Master's degree in Spiritual Psychology – a branch of behavioral psychology that focuses on self-responsibility and self-forgiveness as pathways to healing and change.  Now, fifteen years later, as a career coach, author, and speaker, his mission is to support professionals over 50 – to redefine, build and sustain second-act careers beyond traditional retirement. John wrote a book on this called Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: Some myths about Boomer workers Why freelance work can be a great fit Why you need to find a tribe or network Why even with a W-2 job, you should think of yourself as a freelancer The importance of patience and persistence in working independently Now, for some action steps: Download the free worksheet: Three Steps You Need for a More Productive Workday Grab a copy of Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50 Check out John's Website John also co-hosts a LinkedIn Live show and podcast called: "The Second Act Show" Take Lynn's Encore Career Clarity Quiz Connect with Me: LinkedIn Facebook Please leave a Rating and Review: Since this podcast is new, I'm asking for Apple Podcasts reviews.

    REPLAY: How to Improve Your Presentation Skills and Get People to Listen

    We've all attended a presentation only to leave and immediately forget everything we'd learned. Why does this happen? Likely, the presenter wasn't interactive, didn't make the presentation fun for everyone, and didn't tell stories. These common mistakes make the audience bored and unlikely to retain any information. Go here to listen → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/221 On the other hand, when presenters connect to the right energy, connect with their audiences,  and perform their presentations, the impact is amazing. Both the presenter and the audience members enjoy themselves and are left with a powerful takeaway. In this episode, I am talking with Rick Davis of the Davis Presentation Group about more strategies for giving effective presentations.  Rick can help you find ways to CONNECT to positive sources, PLAY with ideas and interests that energize you and make you come alive, and PERFORM in the role you were always meant to portray. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: The lessons Rick learned as he built his business and began helping people with presentations. First steps to becoming a better presenter.  The typical mistakes presenters make. How many points a presentation should have. How to utilize stories well in presentations. Taking the time to rehearse and develop our presentations. The impact of being more intentional about our presentations. General presentation formats you can use. The benefit of pauses while presenting. Now, for some action steps: Email Rick at rick@davispresentationgroup.com with the subject line "Lynn sent me." The first 20 listeners to do so will get a 30-minute call with Rick to work on their presentation skills.

    REPLAY: Habits, Not Willpower, Will Create Your Successful Encore Career

    Willpower alone will never lead to success. It certainly won't help you create a successful Encore Career. You need more than willpower–you need habits.  Go here to listen → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/220 Today, I want to talk all about healthy habits and how to implement them. To help me do so, I'm going back over some ideas from the study, "Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement" by Edward Jones and AgeWave. They talk about the stages of retirement and the disorientation that comes with it.  When we retire, we disrupt the habits of work we've had for 30-40 years. All of a sudden, we're launched into a new environment. Additionally, in corporate life, you had a level of drive. You pushed through things and made it work. In your Encore Career, however, you only have so much drive.  All of this explains why we have to depend on routines, checklists, and habits to help support us as we create our new Encore Career. Tune in to learn how! We'll dive deeper into these concepts: How to create a new habit. How to identify the distractions that are getting in your way. Why tracking your habits is important. Why you need to stop being so hard on yourself. Four especially useful habits. The power of simplification. Application questions to ask yourself. Now, for some action steps: Read "Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement" by Edward Jones and AgeWave Read Atomic Habits by James Clear Read Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg 5 habits of people who are especially productive working from home Subtract by Leidy Klotz To get started on Your Encore journey, sign up for my resource: 5 Key Questions to Ask Yourself if You Want a Successful Mindset My Resources: Most people view life transitions as uncomfortable and disruptive.
