Lyn Davey embarked on a brand new career at the age of 61.
“I am living the dream and I do really love it,” Davey told A Current Affair.Davey had been working two jobs before she made the drastic career change to become a flight attendant, a dream she’d held onto since she was 16 years old.
What I find all happens a lot is people need that boost of confidence that what they have to offer is needed in the market,” Parker explained.
“Probably 50 per cent of people want to change careers for wellbeing, and for better lifestyle balance and probably 50 per cent want to change for more money for whatever reason, but it’s very much lifestyle orientated.”
Parker advises her clients to identify what they’re good at and start the process there.
“One of the things I do with all my clients is talk about what was on their heart and what did they love doing when they were teenagers,” Parker said.
“Probably about 75 per cent of the time those passions that were held in their teens and twenties are still there. And they’ve been put on the backburner, but now in their 50s, they think ‘I’m going to have a crack’.”
