How to Craft a Late-Career Personal Mission Statement

Episode 35 of Late-Career Conversations with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna explore how professionals over 50 can write a personal mission statement to guide their encore career or consulting pivot. They walk through a step-by-step framework used by career coaches, drawing on the real example of a 58-year-old former operations director who used this exercise to land fractional board roles. The hosts discuss the difference between a mission statement and a LinkedIn summary, how to avoid vague corporate jargon, and why this tool helps late-career professionals say 'no' to the wrong opportunities. Luna shares a surprising stat from a 2025 Harvard Business Review study on purpose and late-career satisfaction. Lucas breaks down the three-part structure: your unique skills, the problem you solve, and the impact you want to have. No fluff, no filler—just a practical guide to defining your professional north star after 50. #LateCareer #PersonalMissionStatement #EncoreCareer #CareersAfter50 #FractionalExecutive #CareerPivot #PurposeDriven #HarvardBusinessReview #OperationsDirector #BoardRoles #Consulting #CareerClarity #ProfessionalBrand #JobSearch #Mentorship #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
