I'm Andrew Middleton, founder of I'm Not Done Yet (INDY), a coaching and community initiative focused on life-transitions for people aged 50 and above. At I'm Not Done Yet I help individuals who are rethinking work, identity and purpose to stay relevant, redefine what "next chapter" means, and build meaningful, engaged lives.
In my corporate and charity work I witnessed the sharp cliff many face around 50: roles change, expectations shift, and relevance can feel threatened. I founded INDY because I believe mid-life isn't a decline but an opportunity to reclaim meaning, contribute, and thrive.
The coaching industry either ignores the over-50s or treats aging as decline, but I noticed something essential missing: coaching that recognizes mid-life as an opportunity for reinvention and renewed purpose. Many people over 50 were experiencing a sharp cliff around 50 where roles change and relevance feels threatened, assumptions that their best years are behind them, lack of coaching specifically addressing their unique challenges and potential, no community of peers navigating similar transitions, and organizations failing to engage and retain experienced talent. I wanted to create a coaching practice that bridges these gaps, treating mid-life not as decline but as a powerful opportunity for transformation.
I began by creating a community and podcast for "INDYs" (over 50s who're not ready to slow down) to explore change, work and purpose. From there I built coaching programmes and partnerships with organisations looking to engage experienced talent, while the INDY network supported members to reinvent what they do.
My core offerings include one-to-one life coaching for over-50s, INDY podcast exploring mid-life transitions, community network for peer support, organizational consulting on engaging experienced employees, speaking engagements on mid-life reinvention, and portfolio career and retirement reimagining support.
Over time INDY reached more individuals and organisations focused on mid-life transitions, portfolio careers, retirement reimagined and purposeful work. I support private coaching, speak publicly and work with companies to better engage experienced employees.
If I were starting again, I would invest more in digital training and community tools early to reach more people from the start, capture more member stories to demonstrate transformation and build visibility sooner, build organizational partnerships faster to connect with companies earlier, and create scalable resources sooner with templates and frameworks for self-guided work.
Looking ahead I will deepen coaching offers, expand the INDY community globally and create more resources for organisations and individuals exploring "what next" after mid-life. My vision is that when someone over 50 asks "What's next for me?", they think of I'm Not Done Yet first.
His coaching is specifically for you if you're aged 50 or over and are rethinking your career, identity, or purpose. It's designed for individuals who feel they aren't done yet and want to build a meaningful, engaged next chapter in their lives.
Many coaching services either overlook the over-50s or view ageing as a decline. Andrew's approach is different. It treats mid-life as a powerful opportunity for reinvention and renewed purpose, combining purpose with strategy and a strong, supportive community of peers navigating similar transitions.
INDY, which stands for "I'm Not Done Yet", is a community network and podcast created by Andrew. It provides a space for people over 50 to connect, find peer support, and explore change, work, and purpose together. It's about ensuring you don't have to walk through these changes alone.
Yes, absolutely. Andrew works with organisations to help them better engage and retain their experienced employees. He offers consulting and speaking engagements focused on the value of mid-life talent and creating supportive work environments.
