Coaching Authentic Retirement
Seventy-five million people are at or approaching retirement age from the “Baby Boom” generation. Yet many will retire unsuccessfully at age 57 and end up going back to work. Why “unsuccessfully”? Because whatever planning Baby Boomers have done for their retirement tends to be financial only – and many come up wanting even in that regard. Most people spend more time planning their next vacation than they do considering the true impact retirement will have on virtually every aspect of their life. The primary focus of this book and course is how to guide and coach clients regarding the nonfinancial aspects of retiring. Among the topics you will learn are:
- Facts: How big is the retiring population, and what areas of economy and society will be impacted most?
- Time: How will I spend my time in retirement?
- Work: Will I work in retirement? How/when/where?
- Contribution: If I do not work, what contribution will I make and how?
- A new model: How Authentic Retirement can serve as a template for planning my life
- Money: How might my beliefs about money sabotage my retirement?
- Travel and education: Where will I live? What new projects will I begin?
- Attitude: Am I emotionally prepared for the transition to retirement?
- Relationships: How will my marriage and other relationships change when I retire?
- Identity and Purpose: Who am I apart from my job?
- Aging: What does aging mean? How can I do it well?
- Health: What is my current level of health? What will I do if it changes?
- Employers: How will companies respond to this mass exodus of talent?
These issues and many more are rarely asked by people approaching retirement. Help your clients avoid dissatisfaction, boredom, or worse by learning how to coach them to take a proactive role and enjoy their retirement years! Includes: Retirement Coach’s Toolbox of two dozen self-assessments and other forms and resources for use with your clients, as well as a step-by-step plan to fill your retirement coaching practice.
