 Second Life Project 
Unlocking Purpose and potential In Mature Adults

Are you ready to disturb the universe?

We are looking for people who are no longer in full time work and looking to release themselves from old boundaries and find a new path. Unconventional thinkers who are open to embracing new challenges and growth. People who are willing to contribute to the future of the Second Life Project.
​
What you did in your first phase of life is less important, it’s about the difference you want to make in your second phase of life!

Is your biggest contribution still ahead of you?

According to recent research, what we commonly refer to as ‘wisdom’ is actually a combination of advanced thinking abilities. Research studies also suggest that these advanced skills and abilities are more widespread in people post middle age.  That’s nothing new - the concept of ‘wise elders’ has been around for millennia.  Does it seem ironic, then, that in our usual systems of ‘work’ we retire from our full-time jobs at the point where we may have reached our most advanced levels of thinking? Organisations around the globe are experiencing this ‘brain-drain’ as the generation of baby boomers leaves the workforce.

At the same time, the big challenges facing society today are becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable.  Technological advances and global interdependence are resulting in change occurring at an unprecedented speed and magnitude.  Traditional approaches and thinking have proven to be inadequate for effectively addressing the scale and scope of the complexity we face.  The training, development, and experience that have undergirded our leadership success in the past is not enough. In the words of a best-selling business book - “what got us here won’t get us there.”

What is needed for addressing complex and unpredictable social and organizational challenges?  The answer: people whose complexity of mind matches the complexity of the challenges they face.  

Where do we find such people?  The answer: they have to be developed.  And some savvy organisations around the world have begun doing just that - developing more complex thinking in those in their current and upcoming leadership roles.

But there is a group of people who have a head start on this process.  

What if we found a way to tap into -- and enhance -- the complexity of mind (e.g. advanced thinking skills) in our wise elders and bring that thinking to bear on our most vexing societal problems?
​
That is the vision of the Second Life Project. 

We aim to start small and learn along the way!

Increased life expectancy and improved quality of life is leading many individuals to re-imagine retirement as more than a perpetual holiday and realise they still can and want to make a difference in the world. The second goal of the Second Life is to provide a space for this to emerge. 

You can change the world.
