Have you ever been in a mad dash to get to work and prayed that you hit every green light so that you would arrive on time?
In the last ten years that I have been facilitating pre-retirement seminars and conducting one on one interviews about people’s expectations or plans for retirement, the image of an intersection repeatedly surfaces, only my retirees are no longer appealing to a higher power to get them to work on time, but begging to hit every red light. Retirement may come as a relief from the many stresses, hassles and urgencies of work, but it can be felt as a loss of friendships, cognitive challenges, and opportunities for achievement.
Retirement is a phenomenon that is currently in flux. Some of us will never retire, others amongst us may continue working in order to support our desired lifestyles, and still others may opt for a complete cessation of work. If you do choose to exit the workforce at the age of 65 and you are in good health, you may spend more years in retirement than you actually spent working.
How will you spend your time?
Join us for a one-day workshop where we will explore what science has discovered about successfully transitioning to retirement, should you, opt to retire!
Discover:
- Why having something to retire to is more important than what you retire from
- Why friends are more important than family
- Why an optimistic mindset leads to longevity
- What crucial conversations you must have with your spouse
- The relationship between money and happiness
- The art and science of a happy life
- Why it is essential to have a balanced social portfolio
Scientific findings indicate that when people have a better understanding of the challenges they face as new retirees, they are better equipped to navigate the retirement transition and they are more satisfied with their lives once retired.
