What
is a lifestyle transition? Marriage;
loss of a parent, partner, or close
friend; career change; moving; divorce;
serious illness; starting a new business.
It is all of these and more. But
the leading lifestyle transition
now confronting baby boomers is retirement.
Every day 10,000 Americans cross
this bridge into a new life.
Do boomers have a realistic
sense of what their lives will be like
once they cross the bridge? Are they
prepared for the transition? Many will
find their retirement experience unpredictable
and confusing because any emotional adjustment
to a major life change is likely to be
uneven. The good news is that transition
opens the door to a new life.
The
Retirement life Planning Seminar
Research
shows that those who do financial and life
planning increase their satisfaction
with the choices they make in retirement.
So learn more about this transition
at seminars focused on life planning
- that half of the retirement equation
that is typically overlooked. Seminar
participants benefit from lively,
interactive sessions in which they:
share their own assumptions,
fears, and dreams about retirement;
learn about trends that will
shape their life planning;
gain insight into transition
dynamics;
learn from the stories of others
who are already on the journey;
receive information about on-line
assessments, retirement life planning
tools, and other useful resources.
Besides the program below, LIFESTYLE
TRANSITIONS can also customize a
program to meet the particular needs
of an organization or group.
Retire
Happy
Retire Happy is
designed for those who are beginning
to envision what their lives might
look like once they are free. It
is offered in two full-day formats:
a half-day morning seminar with
individual coaching sessions in
the afternoon or a full-day program
without coaching.
In advance of the seminar,
participants may take the Retirement
Success Profile™ or
the LifeOptions™ Assessment.
We explore attitudes about retirement
to uncover hidden assumptions and
expectations about this life-changing
event as well as discussing our fears
and dreams. Individual exercises
foster self-reflection.
The instructor discusses transition
and shares her story and the stories
of others to illustrate the emotional
adjustments typical in any major
life change. We also discuss tools
for planning "what's next" and
complete an exercise intended to
begin the life planning journey
requisite for both work/life balance
and a successful retirement transition.
