My question is this: what types of careers or jobs or work do these items below suggest to you?
Hoping this forum is appropriate for my question. I’m 55 years old and recently sold a successful Acupuncture office that my wife and I owned for 26 years in order for us to move across country to her hometown. I’m looking for a new career that would best utilize my skills, my areas of knowledge, etc. Areas I’m most interested in: 1. A job that sits at the intersection of natural healthcare (I have a Master’s Degree of Science in Oriental Medicine) and International Relations (which is my undergraduate degree). I would love to represent Chinese Medicine as an advisor or policy maker for some international non-profit connected to the World Health Organization for example. 2. I love and am expert at composing Chinese Herbal Medicine formulas for individuals based on 2000-year-old theory and texts. 3. I love consulting business owners, ideally those who are in natural healthcare or other professions that are ethical and have as close to neutral or ideally a positive impact on the planet. Skills I’m most interested in performing in this new career: 1. Working with numbers and statistics, computing and planning based on the data 2. Persuading, selling, educating, recruiting 3. Solving problems 4. Getting follow through on things from team members, getting things done, expediting actions that further the goals of the organization. Thanks in advance!

I am currently taking a business management course at Oxford and we have been talking about consulting. We have practised consulting with case studies, but not really discussed what it takes to become one professionally. #business #business-development #consulting #management-consulting #strategic-consulting
