You spent decades playing the game, learning the systems and getting the promotions. But now? You’re starting to question the whole thing.
That job title you worked so hard for no longer fits. But when you try to peel it back, you wonder: who’s under there?
If you’re starting to feel the mismatch between who you are and the role you’re performing at work, you’re not alone.
You're a GenXer, which means you've been at this career thing for decades. Of course you’re still showing up. But you’re not excited about it.
And when you try to imagine what’s next, all you see is a blank page. Or worse—another job with a different logo and the same nonsense.
You’re not lost.
You’re just bumping up against the edge of a borrowed identity—the one that got you here, but isn’t taking you further.
Let’s talk about what happens when that persona takes over—and what begins to return when you finally start setting it down.
- Shelley McIntyre helps GenXers dying to leave corporate and create their own thing, build courage, clarity, and structure so they can take the leap.
- For individual, step-by-step support, apply for Shelley’s Reinvention Partnership Program, and she’ll contact you to set up a call.
