Retirement Readiness: Retire or Rewire?
Most agree the 3rd phase of life should be the reward for major life challenges we have completed. Our accomplishments should be rewarded by sitting back and kicking up our heels. In spite of this theory the unprepared commonly become unfulfilled, returning to the workforce feeling disappointed and bored. In this workshop we will explore the key components for a fulfilling, rewarding 3rd stage of life. Design and process retirement strategies for leisure, recreation, health, wellness, housing, socialization, spirituality, volunteerism, and yes, even explore a new career!
