Starting over. For some, those words ignite excitement in their bones. New opportunities. Fresh growth. A change of scenery. For others, it elicits fear. “I can’t do this. I don’t know anything else. I’m too old to start over. How will I live and handle my responsibilities?” I understand both; I’ve experienced them in marriage and career. So I appreciated Dartinia Hull’s honesty in today’s Leadership & Development story. It’s not littered with empty platitudes -- “Hang in there! Something will turn up” -- that don’t offer real direction or encouragement. It’s a story of trial and triumph as she starts over at 54. Have you had to start over? What advice do you have? Let me know! And if you enjoy this brief, tell others so they can benefit also.
