As we reach the latter stages of our careers, there’s a natural change in focus. More emphasis, for example, on mentoring, retirement planning and finding fulfillment; less effort toward climbing the corporate ladder.
One of the most striking shifts is letting your professional network languish. It usually happens gradually (and often unintentionally). You may step back from volunteering with industry associations. You touch base only infrequently with executive recruiters. You engage less on LinkedIn and other online platforms.
