Anyone in a leadership or ownership position – entrepreneur, business leader or leading a public sector or voluntary organisation – has a vast amount to cope with in this pandemic.

I had a thought provoking – and sad – conversation with an HR director of a professional firm recently. We are doing a workshop for partners to help them think about their future – unretirement, if you like.
I had an interesting session with a director of a global corporate the other day. When we were exploring what she might do next, I asked her various questions including, ‘Are you interested in helping women into leadership positions?’
What next? Is that a question worrying you about ‘retirement’?
You are excited about freedom, new horizons, time to travel and for family – and walking, cycling or whatever. But you have skills. You want to be useful and use those skills. But doing what?
I can’t tell you how many people I meet who say, “I must update my LinkedIn”.
On a scale of one to ten, how much have you thought about retirement? If you have at all, is it a sort of fantasy world of travelling and relaxing? Or a move into a portfolio of interesting roles? Or playing golf and walking with friends most days?
