The Philadelphia Inquirer Business Section features Yosaif’s work and the monthly Meetup group Encore Community of Philadelphia in an article entitled “Boomers, want to redefine happiness in your work and life? Hire a coach.”
Op-ed article in Philadelphia Inquirer 4/9/17
Take a look at “Repurpose Your Life” – an article featuring Yosaif’s work, published in the Philadelphia Inquirer 4/9/17.
The article introduces a new way to use the term “repurpose.” Rather than repurposing things, it’s about repurposing our skills, strengths and accumulated wisdom in an encore career, where we can make both a difference and earn a paycheck.
