A members' community for the 50+ chapter
Next Decade is where people over fifty — still working, reinventing, or rewriting what comes next — figure it out together. Honest conversation, live calls, small cohorts, and a community that gets it.

Why we're here
Somewhere after fifty, the old map stops being useful. The job title isn't the whole answer. Retirement doesn't mean what it used to. And the people around you are quietly wondering the same things you are.
Next Decade brings them into one room — to think out loud, trade what works, and build what's next. No hype. No decline stories. Just good years, well used.
The members are professionals in their fifties, sixties and beyond — coaching, consulting, starting things, changing lanes, and comparing notes along the way.
“The second half can be the most interesting — if you give it some company.”
Monthly Ask Mags Anything — a relaxed, no-slides conversation with the founder and the community.
Join a handful of people on the same question and move through it together, over a few guided weeks.
Bite-size workshops, worksheets and reflections, plus the full newsletter archive to read any time.
Five short self-assessments to see where you stand and what to do next.
Set up a profile, find people like you, and start real conversations in the feed.
A warm, members-only space to be seen for who you are now — and to find the people worth knowing.
Your headline — e.g. “Former CFO, now coaching founders”

Big change rarely happens alone. Cohorts are small, time-boxed groups who work through one transition together — with structure, accountability and good company.
The full archive of The Next Decade newsletter and the workshop worksheets — gathered in one members' library you can return to any time. (The deeper research reads now live at the end of each workshop.)
Honest, useful writing on work, identity and the years ahead — read the full archive any time.

The whole community
Go all in, with Mags
Psychologist, coach, writer — and living proof that the second half can be the most interesting.
I went back to college at 59 and finished my MSc, with distinction, at 61. I coach senior professionals through exactly the transitions Next Decade is about, and I write The Next Decade for over a thousand readers on the same journey. My work draws on the psychology of ageing, work and identity — no hype, no deficit stories about getting older, just honest, useful thinking for people with a lot of good years ahead.
Next Decade is the community I wish had existed when the old job title stopped being the whole answer.
