[5/15 14:00] Thinking from your 40s: A workshop to help middle-aged seniors find their calling and live a fulfilling life

Don't think that middle-senior age is still a long way off, so start preparing now.

If you can do something that you love and are good at, you can have a lot of fun and do high-quality work.

However, it's difficult to express your likes and dislikes in a company, and even you yourself may not really know what you like or dislike.

However, when you reach middle age, you want to do work you enjoy. The best time to start thinking about this is in your 40s.

You need to realize what you value, where your community is, and what you "like."

We will hold a workshop to help participants discover what kind of work they are "good at."

For those in their 50s and 60s, known as middle-aged seniors, why not work more "enrichingly" rather than "desperately"?

Use this as an opportunity to realize the importance of doing work you love and living a wonderful and fulfilling life.
