What you'll learn

  • Develop a greater understanding of how to prepare for the social/psychological side of retirement; a topic that is not easily addressed by a financial equation.
  • Gain understanding of retirement through real-life exercises that personalize your retirement lifestyle.
  • Make a more informed decision about when is the "right" time to retire.
  • Take the "weirdness" out of retirement by knowing how to bring the "best of work" to the "best of retirement."

Requirements

  • Students do not need any prior experience or special skills before starting this course. The only requirement is a desire to create a meaningful and rewarding retirement, and to show up with an "explorer" mindset.

Description

The goal for this course is to take the "weirdness" out of retirement. I've never heard anyone say, "Working is weird." So if working isn't weird, then how can we take the best of work and bring it into the best of retirement? 

This course explores what you will need in retirement that will create a sense of meaning and purpose at a time when you're no longer defined by your work title. So much of the weirdness of retirement comes from losing our sense of direction. We'll explore how to create a "new normal" by embracing new roles, being involved in work that is greater than ourselves, and recreating conditions that contributed to our happiness at work.

If you're not interested in every day feeling like Saturday and Sunday, then you are going to love learning about new organizing concepts that are much bigger than a life of leisure. If you're not ready to give up work completely, you will be glad to learn how to regain the psychological benefits of work. And if you're worried that you don't have something that you are passionate about doing in retirement, in this course you only need to be curious and have an explorer mindset.

If you are worried about the decision to retire, you will find support that will help you feel prepared to step into retirement. This is especially important if you are in a work environment where it is not "safe" to talk about retirement. This major life decision and transition is too complex to go it alone. In this course you will find the support you need without having to "show your cards" at work. 

Who this course is for:

  • Target audience is anyone who is thinking about retirement or has already retired, and wants each year of retirement to be more than a 365-day vacation. This primarily includes Baby Boomers between the ages of 50-75.
