If you haven’t loved the first decades of your career, Chávez says to pivot your role or make a complete career change so you spend the next five decades doing something you love.Age 60 | Cofounder and CEO, TomboyX In 2019, at age 56, Engelbert was named commissioner of America’s oldest professional women’s sports league. It wasn’t her first big role after 50. In 2015, after nearly three decades at Deloitte, she was promoted to CEO. As she says, her “anything but linear” career path demonstrates the ways in which people can evolve their careers after 50.
“I’ve pivoted many times in my career and my advice to women – whether they are under 50 or more senior in their careers – is to pursue your passion, don’t get too hung up on how fast you are progressing, develop a network of colleagues and mentors and always push yourself to learn more. Most importantly, don’t fret about your age,” she says. “Age 50 is a time when you will be wiser, more experienced and better able to not sweat the small stuff,” McGovern says.
