How do you see yourself?

Mature?  Active?  Around fifty?  Over 50?  Senior?  A baby boomer?  Planning retirement?  Retired?  Absolutely no thoughts of retiring?

Do you want to make some changes?

If so, and if you're over 50, then in my prime is for you. We’re the leading organisation for mature, positive, energetic people who want to achieve more – at a time in their lives when others might be thinking of easing off, slowing down or planning for retirement.  

Perhaps you’re drawing to the end of a long career, one of the "older workers"? Perhaps changes in family or domestic circumstances call for some fundamental re-appraisal of the direction of your life? Perhaps your needs are financial, you just can’t afford to stop? Or maybe you’re just bored or frustrated and know that there must be more to life than this?

in my prime is all about helping and supporting you to:  

  • find appropriate ways to maximise your potential in every area of your life

  • develop new interests whether work or leisure

  • dispel all doubts (if you have any) - being over 50 is nothing to do with being old

Go “WEST” - Employers urged to capitalise on their older workers’ fundamental skills and attributes

Wisdom, Experience, Stability and Tenacity are four key attributes which define older workers and differentiate them from their younger colleagues.  They are also essential components of business success yet in these difficult economic times many employers are overlooking the potential role of their older workers in contributing to their organisation’s sustained performance, innovation and competitive strength.

This is the view of age management specialists in my prime who are urging employers to focus on ways in which their older employees might contribute more to the business at both a strategic and operational level.

The future is bright: the future is ageing

Our article published in Thames Valley People August 2009.

"Back in the fifties and sixties numerous outlandish predictions were made about work in the twenty first century. Some - like computers and mobile communications technology have come to fruition; others like unisex jumpsuits, work pods and jet-pack transportation so far (fortunately) have not."
