### CINDY GALVIN ## Introduction Cindy Galvin left a career in energy and nuclear-fuel trading in her fifties to become a midlife-transition mindset coach. Her chapter tells that career-pivot story and introduces her book and coaching program for people considering a career change later in life. ##### “Got an itch to do something different?” This is the story of a Midwestern girl who grew up outside Chicago. In my ‘50s I walked away from a lucrative position in the energy trad- ing industry knowing it was time to change. I was unaware how this decision would ignite an incredible journey that would lead me to the fulfilling and rewarding career I have today. This personal and professional journey would reunite me with an idea and passion I first had decades earlier to help others achieve. My professional life was already interesting. At 29 years old I was asked to help launch a nuclear fuel brokerage business. It was a per- fect fit for a Midwestern girl who grew up outside Chicago with a love of science and a desire to travel internationally. This singular opportunity taught me the fundamentals on how to build a successful, global business I have used repeatedly since then. Traveling the world for this business was fascinating yet what inspired me most was realizing how similar we are when facing career and life decisions, regardless of our background, position or culture. I felt drawn to help people learn how to design and execute strategies to cope with stress and fatigue, how to manage teams or change their career for something more fulfilling though unsure of what that was. Starting over later in life was different from 20 years earlier. I invested in programs that promised a lot and failed to deliver. I wanted better! This motivated me to create my own program and method to kick start change leveraging my diverse background as investigative report- er, broker, global executive and business owner. The experience led to my first book, ‘More to Give-Stepping into your new life at any age’, and to my business of helping clients live happier and more fulfilling lives. If you’ve ever had the itch to do something different in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s, I’m here to help you design and navigate that journey. #### “The itch to do something different mindset coach.” I can help you achieve the change you want faster and easier once you to take the first step and commit to the process. <u>Watch my video and Schedule a call</u> <u>to discover how we can work together.</u> **SCAN TO WATCH VIDEOS** #### DO YOU HAVE THE ITCH TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT? How would YOU like to look forward to waking up every day feeling alive, inspired and purposeful because you’re doing what you have already been prepared for to achieve in your next season in life? Anyone who’s reached a crossroads in life where they feel prompted to do something different in search of help getting there, I am here. My clients may question the sanity of leaving a secure position or struggle with the perceived loss of social status by giving up their title or job, or fear failure and worry they may be too old to change. Some no longer know what their life purpose is yet desire fulfillment. The difference between my clients’ success and others is that they’ve decided to believe enough in themselves to seek help with me. My clients are executives, entrepreneurs, traders, teachers and all those who desire guidance through this transition process to help them with clarity and confidence while reducing their mistakes. ##### What's stopping you moving forward are your thoughts and beliefs. You’ve spent decades building your career and life experience, bene- fiting from those results. Now, you want more, have more to give yet find this transitional process daunting to do on your own.

We’re living longer and healthier lives. Technology allows us to work where we want and when we want. **There’s every reason to keep working in your 40s, 50s, 60s or 70s**!

If you remove the blocks you’re aware of and those blocks which lie underneath your life will change in ways unimaginable ways! Many people want to change and expect it to be quick. Today’s fast world has people believing, wrongly, that a technique isn’t working if they aren’t 180 degrees different within a day or possibly a week. If you slow down and ask for guidance to help become more self aware, notice small changes cementing the rewiring of your brain. If you use a Thought Diary, you may transform your mind from focus- ing on negative chatter to opening up possibilities that spark the flow of the brain’s ‘feel good’ neurochemicals and spur motivation. How many hours do you spend dreaming of changing your life or your career? Do you look at what other people are doing and tell yourself that could never be you? But what if it could be you? I’ve heard every excuse for not wanting to change. I know because I used them myself. If you have a guide to help you overcome your fears and limiting be- liefs so you could excel forward and start taking action towards your passion, would this be of interest to you? What if you join a community of people, just like you, who choose to focus spending more time nurturing and achieving their passion? You’ve had decades of working which has built up experience, exper- tise and confidence in what you’re doing. Would you be interested in learning how to leverage those assets into something new? There are more people expending their time, talents and energy dis- covering how to work more meaningfully later in life through things they enjoy and are great at, from new discoveries along the way. Are you ready to explore how to do the same? ### NEXT STEP Schedule a Complimentary Discovery Call. ##### Cindy Galvin |who’s interested in learning how to|Cindy@CindyGalvin.com| |---|---| |reposition themselves for a successful|CindyGalvin.com| |career later in life.”|+44-7941-603447 Hampstead, London UK| |John Clemes, CEO/Business Owner,|Linkedin.com/in/CindyGalvin/| |London, UK|Instagram.com/Cindy.GalvinCoaching| ## Summary - Career path: investigative reporter, then co-founder of a nuclear fuel brokerage business, then global energy-trading executive, then mindset coach. - Author of "More to Give – Stepping into Your New Life at Any Age." - Coaches executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals in their 40s through 70s through career and life transitions. - Offers an online course, a Five Steps to Success checklist, and a discount code for Enterprising Women Project readers. - Based in Hampstead, London, UK; contact Cindy@CindyGalvin.com.
