Extraordinary individuals, exceptional insights.
In-depth conversations with highly accomplished individuals and leaders from a diverse range of fields & industries.
Second Half is about people who strive for professional success and have achieved significant & tangible results in their careers.
We dissect their professional success to uncover its key drivers and understand its broader impact. At the same time, we reveal the “real person” beneath the surface, exploring both the rewards and hidden struggles that come with a high-achieving life.
We dive into the deeper questions and dilemmas that emerge as high-achievers transition into the second half of life – a journey of reflection and discovery focused on unlocking their full human potential beyond career success.
High-achievers face common dilemmas
The first half of life is about building—your identity, persona, self-image, reputation, family, career and wealth. It’s about accumulating knowledge, establishing financial security, and gaining recognition. But the second half of life presents a new set of questions:
➔ What is my education, my career, and my wealth truly for?
➔ How can I use my experience to create something meaningful?
➔ What do I truly care about and was born to do?
High-achievers possess certain characteristics and face similar questions when transitioning to the second half of their life.
Dedication
work plays a very significant role in your life, fueling your sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Ambition
you push the boundaries and strive for greater heights, defining success through meaningful progress, influence, and impact.
Resiliency
challenges are fuel for growth, not barriers; you learn from them to continue evolving.
Recognition
your achievements earn the respect and admiration of those around you.
Mastery
you set high standards, continuously improving and achieving remarkable results.
