Selina Yankson is a certified career coach and sales and marketing consultant with over 20 years experience, and the founder of The Mid-Career Mentor, which helps experienced professionals fulfil their potential by providing real-world and practical career guidance.

Selina joins Lucinda to talk about the fascinating topic of people's mid careers, what it truly means and how engagement and fulfilment in this demographic can be key when it comes to retention.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Many believe they are in their mid-career from around 25 to 35, and then they subsequently enter their later career.
The entire corporate structure has changed in business. Progression opportunities are less and the hierarchy is much flatter than it once was. This means that people are moving out rather than upwards, in order to reach the next level.
Companies do not necessarily perform traditional career planning, as they assume that the talent is there, and they can buy it in. This leads to people growing far more disgruntled, and a higher level of competition amongst them.
Companies are set up with missions and goals. Everyone knows about performance and metrics expected. Behaviours are dictated by ourselves.

BEST MOMENTS

'Mid career is really an experience rather than a time'

'The path is not always clear'

'You are benefitting twice if you invest in these people'

'Sometimes we're not as approachable as we think we might be because we're so busy trying to cover all the things that we're overwhelmed with'
