Changing Gear, Jan Hall and Jon Stokes’ guide to career changes published by Headline

Coping with transition can be hard at every stage of life, but it presents unique challenges as we come to the time of our lives when we are facing the end of full-on, full-time work.

Changing Gear: Creating the Life You Want After a Full On Careerlooks at why work is such an important part of a person’s identity, and how challenging it can be when it’s time to change gear, whether that’s to explore a new path or take a step back from our careers entirely.
