Retiring YOUR way.

Picture
You've just entered an amazing time of life.

If you're thinking about retiring, I can help you map out a plan that will be fun and invigorating. If you've already retired, I'll help you assess what's working and what's not, and then together we'll create a framework for a rich and fulfilling life. 

My signature program, ​“Retiring YOUR Way," will shake up any stodgy ideas you might have that retirement is boring and something to be dreaded. Rather, you'll learn that retirement is truly the best time of your life and offers golden opportunities every day to do exactly what you want to do.

What are you wrestling with?
  • Are you feeling frustrated? 
  • Are you feeling bored? 
  • Are you feeling disconnected? 
  • Are you worried about losing the identity you had wrapped up in your career? 

Through our work together, we'll uncover beliefs that may be holding you back. We'll identify the "impossibilities" that may actually be within reach. And we'll map out the specific activities that will add meaning to your life on a daily basis. We'll identify ways to go deeper with your relationships and expand your social circle. Over the weeks and months, you'll experience a growing sense of confidence and an excitement about living life on your own terms.

My coaching will challenge you. You'll come face to face with the obstacles that have held you back. But together we'll unleash your courage and conviction to live life to its fullest. You'll have homework assignments that will turn inspiring ideas into actionable plans. I'll champion your vision with a step-by-step road map that will turn your dream into a reality.

Imagine if you created a life that invigorated and uplifted you. That's exactly what our work together will do.

What will you get out of working with me?
I've heard from clients that...
  • You'll feel excited to get out of bed in the morning.
  • You'll feel energized and clearer about what you really want and how to get that.
  • You'll discover ideas you hadn't considered before.
  • You'll tap into a courage and self-conviction to take risks in the pursuit of fulfillment and purpose and meaningful experiences.
In short, you'll experience a freedom and joy you never thought possible.

Success stories.

Thinking about retirement, but not sure how to do it.
Vic is a hairdresser who owns his own shop and has a few employees. He came to me about a year ago with the goal of having “less work and more play.” Nearing 60, he was too busy to even think about retirement.

Through our coaching work, Vic was able to start proactively planning for retirement. He found the courage to gradually start spacing out the flow of clients and he now has target date of this year for his retirement. Vic also discovered he enjoyed some parts of a side business he has of repairing and selling cars, but didn't enjoy much of the work. He's now learned to say "no" and is able to focus on the things he truly enjoys. 
 
Already retired, but not loving life.
Marnie is a 70-year-old retiree who felt alone and unhappy. Problem was, most people "annoyed her," so finding the right kind of friends was a challenge. After just three coaching sessions, Marnie signed up for book groups at the local library and started writing articles for the neighborhood weekly newspaper. Before she knew it, she was meeting people she actually enjoyed being with, and her life became much richer. Marnie even started going out with some gentleman callers! She's learned first-hand that retirement is truly the best chapter in life.
