In this new year’s edition of 3 Things to Change Your Week, Ellen Sherman and Cynthia Adler celebrate "reinvention,”  a concept that can be both constructive and, in one recent instance, even questionable. Not long ago a scandal erupted at a Saudi Arabian camel beauty contest when handlers decided to “ augment” their camel’s appearance in ways no one could have imagined. Cynthia and Ellen take on the ramifications.

This edition’s special guest is career transition coach, John Tarnoff. Over the span of his professional life, John has been both a successful film executive and tech entrepreneur. Yet, as he jokingly has reminded TED talk audiences and future clients, even after working in the highest echelons of his profession, he has still been fired from 39 ½% of all the jobs he’d ever had.

John knows plenty about reinvention.

Which is why at 50 he left his comfort zone, went back for a Masters and became a career coach specializing in helping other Baby Boomers find their second acts. In this podcast, he gives valuable insights on everything from how to take the first steps in finding new career paths to ways to defy ageism. There are essential tips on creating the best LinkedIn profile as well as understanding why sending out resumes is probably a waste of time. And what you should do instead.
