Beyond the Midlife Crisis: How Leaders Evolve as they Age with Aneace Haddad
Manage episode 491561822 series 3532825
What if I told you that the changes you're experiencing as a leader in your 40s and 50s aren't signs of decline, but the emergence of extraordinary leadership superpowers? In this eye-opening conversation with executive coach Aneace Haddad, I explore the fascinating science behind midlife leadership transformation. Aneace, who exclusively coaches leaders over 40, reveals how our brains literally rewire during this period—creating new capabilities for wisdom, emotional empathy, and presence.
We dive into the three "winds of change" that reshape midlife leaders, discuss why the traditional leadership development approach fails senior executives, and explore how the shift from seeking purpose to embracing presence can revolutionise your leadership effectiveness. Whether you're currently navigating this transition or approaching it, this episode will completely change how you view the second half of your leadership journey.
