What even is all the fuss about?
The true force of turning 50 only hit me a year in, when my friends started joining the fifties club and emotions ran high, mixed with both tears and laughter. Along with the excitement and anticipation of the mid-century milestone, there was a cloud of dread - were our best years behind us?
So, what does it really mean to be in your 50's?
This question has led me to really think deeper beyond that one birthday and to focus on what I actually want to do through my Fifties!
WELCOME TO MY BLOG.
A promise to my fifties that F stands for Fabulous, Fascinating and Fearless!
Not long ago, I found myself on a team implementing a corporate-wide initiative called the OKR program – a simple framework of defining Objectives and Key Results (OKR) to set and achieve the company mission and business goals.
I’ll be honest, as a rationalist, it sounded like a lot of brouhaha and a bunch of fancy words for making a working list. Well, guess what?
Turns out that articulating clearly defined goals along with measurable results to drive tangible outcomes is hard work, requires meticulous planning, thoughtful prioritization, and an effective execution strategy.
Today the OKR journey has turned me into a converted sceptic!
Why not extend this methodology to drive your personal life?
My journey targets a goal of 50-OKRs that align with my aspirations for my Fifties and ensures that I am investing my time on matters that are most important to me.
I hope you'll graciously join me on this journey of discovering and navigating the fifties, while sharing out some of the fun activities and lessons that may resonate with you and your own goals and aspirations.
