If your funeral were tomorrow, what would people truly say about your work and the legacy you left behind? Here is the sobering reality: On average, only 10 people cry at a funeral. And, the number one factor determining how many people attend your burial is the weather. Most of us spend our lives striving and holding it all together, only for the weather to be the deciding factor of our final send-off. This realization brings Uli Schild’s Career Funeral Theory into focus: If so few people will care at the end, why do you care so much about what others think while you are living? This is not a morbid conversation—it's a high-stakes clarity call for senior professionals. In this episode, Uli Schild (@MrCareerTick) and change expert Adrienne Tilley-Lefèvre (@thehumansolarpanel) discuss why holding onto a draining job can be self-sabotage, and how to reclaim your purpose. You will learn how to: Strategically reframe quitting, redundancy, or burnout as the necessary first step toward reinvention. Define the "unfinished business" of your career and create a path that is aligned with who you are, not who others expect you to be. You are allowed to want more. It’s time to change the story and create a life that fulfills you today. #CareerCoach#JobSearchTips#Over50AndThriving#CareerChange#JobSearch#JobSearch AU#MidCareer#JobSearchNZ#MidCareer#ProfessionalDevelopment#CareerAdvice#LinkedInTips#AustralianJobs#MidCareer
