Retirement is not what it used to be.  Actually, it is what is used to be…just not what it has become since the creation of Social Security. Before SS older workers often continued being active and productive members of society. Surveys indicate that 89% of Baby Boomers intend to continue working, at least part time, after reading “retirement age”. This life transition will not be without its challenges and coaching will provide you opportunities to clear away the rubble and meet the next chapter in your life head on.
 

Couples entering the Next Chapter of their lives often have to redefine the essence of their relationship.  Good relationship usually get better after "retirement" and rocky relationships are usually challenging.  In either case, roles may need to change, boundaries may need to shift and expectations may need to be altered.  Engaging in the coaching process together will give you the opportunity to grow together while creating your custom designed life.
 

Setting goals at this time of life takes on a whole new meaning when you consider the average life span. You are likely to have 20+ years after “retiring”.  A few will want to spend it entirely in leisure and others will want to be “doing” something. Your values are more clear now, your life experiences broad and the world is waiting for your impact.  During the coaching process you will identify the impact you want to make and develop a plan to make it so. Your coach will hold you accountable for moving forward with your planned actions.
 

Just when you thought you were finished with parenting it often comes around again. As members of the sandwich generation you may find yourself in multiple caretaker roles…parenting adult children, grandparenting their children, and caring for your own aging parents.  Coaching will give you the opportunity to clearly identify your varying roles, examine your personal boundaries and decide how to balance your needs with the needs of the others in your life.
