FABULOUS AFTER FIFTY! EPISODE 153 – SUE HEDLEY- When Better to Start Your Business than in Mid Life?
I am absolutely delighted to welcome fellow coach and co-worker at the International Association of Professional Coaches and Mentors Sue Hedley, who after decades in IT decided it was time for her to run her own business dedicated to helping women in midlife change course.
When better to do so than in midlife?
Today we go into the why and the how with top tips spoken not only from years of expertise and training, but also from her own experience!
BIO
Born 40 miles north of London in the UK, I spent most of my life in my hometown—a fact that, while a bit embarrassing, shaped my journey. With over two decades dedicated to global IT projects, I thrived in my career until my early 50s. The challenges of Menopause and high-stress work projects led me to the brink of a breakdown, prompting a crucial re-evaluation of my life.
Reflecting on that tumultuous period, marked by tears at my desk and a sense of inadequacy, I now see it as a transformative gift that midlife offers women. This turning point inspired me to shift gears and seek a more fulfilling path. Today, residing in the picturesque Snowdonia in North Wales, I’ve reinvented myself as a coach, running my own business.
My mission as a coach, centers on aiding women in midlife to discern their desires for the final chapter of their professional lives. My focus is on dismantling the mindset obstacles that trap them in unfulfilling jobs and lives. Debbie, one of my clients, beautifully captured the essence of my Coaching approach, noting that she felt safe, cared for, and able to rediscover herself.
