We all have a slightly different view of what Retirement will be like. If you are young it probably does not mean too much, but as you get older Retirement means different things to different people.
To me it gave me the reward of re-training as a Psychotherapist and NLP Practitioner. Having qualified I worked in Corporate Companies and with Individuals, I am now recognised as the” Leading Independent Expert on Pre-Retirement Planning.”
What does retirement look like for you?
This transition has given me the precious role to also be very involved in my 6 grand-chidren’s lives, to play tennis along with enjoying the county over 65 level and also to enjoy my friends and travel.
I give my time to being a recognised stress management mentor for the Princes Trust. This is entirely on a “pro-bona” basis and is very rewarding. I continue to enjoy learning!
That is a short scenario on my use of later years and I now speak on the media and at conferences on how YOU can make the most of the next 25-30 years – health permitting.
Let me ask you a question – how are you going to spend and make use of your time to find fulfilment and happiness in your later years?
For some people in Retirement the question of “what shall I do today?” is common. Procrastination sets in and the whole daunting experience of learning to use time after many years in a structured working environment becomes unnerving.
I have worked with people going through transitions in their lives for some years.
Retirement in particular brings SO many positive opportunities, but it does require planning and self-analysis for the correct path for YOU.
How am I able to help YOU?
I have owned my own businesses and on my own retirement. As I explained in the introduction I decided to train as a Business/Personal Coach. After some years I was accepted as a Member of the Council of Psychotherapists. Further training followed as a NLP Master Practitioner and training in both Stress Management and Mediation. More latterly I have worked as a Resilience and Retirement Specialist. However, I now am actively working with clients over 50 and recognised as the leading independent pre-planning specialist.
Working with clients either embarking on Retirement or those with change in later life is very rewarding. It is important for me to be able to empathise and understand the pitfalls so that you can experience that “light bulb” moment of realisation after challenging and sometimes anxious times YOU can lead a truly fulfilling later journey in your life.
My positive working ethos with clients in later life include many scenarios. Some individuals are preparing to retire, retired, widowed, divorced or may require part-time employment, so any initial discussion is on an individual or couples basis and follows with a tailor-made plan.
Your retirement lifestyle can be improved by:
- Understanding who you are and gaining clarity on your self-identity.
- What are you really wanting and have you focussed on your vision for the future?
- Have you developed a plan for your every- day life?
- Do you understand how you move forward with or without a partner?
- Can you move forward with renewed confidence?
- Can celebrate this exciting transition for your later years?
