Elizabeth White on Reinventing Yourself After 50

Entrepreneur, consultant and author of the book "55, Underemployed and Faking Normal", Elizabeth White describes how she went from a Harvard MBA and a hugely successful business career, to being "55, underemployed and faking normal". She describes her experience about how she had followed the rules and done all the things she had been told would get her ahead in life, and yet she still got jettisoned out of the workforce. She was in her 50's, without any income, overnight, the one with her "nose pressed up against the glass looking at a world you're not part of", and yet she was not alone. When White shared an article which told of her struggle, it went viral and she was bombarded by people sharing the same story. She then went on to write her book, sharing her experiences in more detail. Her insight offers practical tips of how to get through life at such a critical stage, while managing feelings of being a failure. Learn more about Elizabeth @:
