Julie England – Independent Director, Artist and Former Technology Executive
Have you spent your life working in the corporate world and longed to become an artist, a musician, a chef – explore your creative skills?
Julie England has done just this – going from an engineer and VP in Texas Instruments to becoming a recognized artist, exhibiting her work. And picking up a number of independent board positions along the way!
I have been interviewing and sharing tips from a number of women who successfully created second careers. They will be talking in more detail on the Prime Women second act program, due to be launched October 23, 2018.
It was particularly Julie’s transition from a corporate leader to an artist and painter that interested me. I know from helping people in my own business that many find themselves almost frozen when it comes to thinking what they want to do next – and how to make it happen. Too many don’t give themselves permission to dream and ‘go for it.’ Yet, as Julie says, we are generally fit and healthy in our 50s and 60s and there is plenty of time to learn, qualify, experiment, develop skills and start something completely new.
