Have you allowed yourself while working, travelling to & fro or in the shower to transport yourself and ponder upon a different choice of… career, different way to exist and in a different environment?
Or have you experienced a strong feeling of longing, saudade (to quote a form of Portuguese and Brazilian music)? Can’t quite express it?
As Elvis, the King of rock and roll sang – What Now, What Next, Where To?
Living Segue™ is the smooth transition to support you, your longings, into reality and in essence capture your moment.
This is one of the offerings at Baudino&Co, an association of coaches and mentors with broad international expertise, various industries and in many languages.
Living Segue™ is not limited to those in mid-life crisis, semi-retired or retired but for –
- recent graduates uninspired by the subject(s) they had heartily embraced but no longer do
- next career steppers
- returning military from active service to civilian life
- those moving up and over
- crossovers from a discipline, style or industry sector to another
My own career life has enjoyed 3 phases and living segues –
- An Academic (the youngest PhD in the UK at the age of 23)
- A businesswoman confronting the glass ceiling in publishing, finance, telecommunications and solar energy
- During my 7 year tenure with Institutional Investor introduced newly privatised Spanish companies to international institutional investors in Asia, the US and Europe
- As CEO of Maxwell Satellite Communications, pioneering satellite communications and video-conferencing to the corporate community
- As the first European Business Development Director to the NASDAQ Stock Market, identified potential IPOs sourced agricultural land in Italy to be converted into solar parks
- At this present time, putting together life and work experience as a Coach and Mentor.
These transitions have not always been easy and have met with challenges and, in the case of a personal business venture, the liquidation of a company.
Embrace the change and the challenge from someone who has done the same…
So, don’t you dare forget to try on those blue suede shoes!
