Finding yourself can be hardest for those who've tied their self-worth to the work that is left behind. Sylvia Taylor names a truth most leadership conversations miss: strategies without hope are also nothing.

In the full conversation, you will learn:
➡️ How to answer "Who am I beyond my job title?" without spiraling
➡️ Why your gut may be more trustworthy than your brain when considering a career reinvention
➡️ The difference between hope as a feeling and hope as a daily practice
➡️ Why hope is an amplifier for adaptability and resilience
Sylvia created the Adaptive Identity Game, a play-based tool she designed to answer the question that surfaces during every midlife reinvention: "If I'm not my job title, who am I?" The answer, she insists, isn't found by updating your LinkedIn profile. It's uncovered by reconnecting with the skills, traits, and metaphors that have been quietly shaping your work all along.
