Questions on buyout and returning to school.
<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><div>Can't teach an old dog new tricks? Baah … that’s an old wives' tale. Lifelong learning is good for the mind as well as soul. Thinking of enrolling in a history course at your senior center? Want to brush up on your French? Just because we're all getting older, does not mean learning stops.</div><div><br /></div></font>
Have you or someone you know taken a buyout from a company and returned to school? If so, I invite you to further discuss how you faired in the pursuit of education after taking a buyout.

My name is Laura Lee Rose: the Corporate Exit Strategist for the Blomming Entrepreneur. I am a business and life coach that specializes in this very transition or next chapter. General tips: 1) Start off with your vision, mission and personal/professional goal. 2) Outline the gaps between where you currently are in your skillset and where you need to be to accomplish those goals. 3) Identify the team (types of people you need) to accomplish your goals. You don't actually need to be the one that fills all the skill gaps. You just need to place a complementary team in place to cover the significant talent. 4) Indentify the courses, classes, and training that fills the skill gap that you are personally assigned. 5) Define reasonable forcing functions, accountability partners and success criteria in advance. If you need more individual help, please feel free to contact me for a free introductory coaching session. |
