A Reflective Senior Moment
September 9, 2008
I remember when I couldn’t wait to be a high school Senior, then a College Senior, followed by a Senior Manager/Leader. In time I have become a Senior Advisor to many clients. What I, and many Boomer entrepreneurs like me have never wanted to be, is a Senior Citizen. It’s not that we deny getting older, we just never think of ourselves as “old.”
We are arguably more active and vibrant than past generations as a whole and more involved. Some of it is due, no doubt, to our belief that we might live forever so why put too much aside. Some comes from the need to work on because we haven’t put enough aside. I think the thought process for many of us, though, is rooted in equating death with retirement and equating productive work with being alive.
