Although individual coaching is the primary method Susan uses to help others define a plan for the second chapter of life, she also offers two group-oriented options (short seminar and weekend workshop) as inspiration.

• What do you want to be happy about accomplishing?
• What unfinished business do you want to have finished by 85?
• What would constitute your proudest moments, highest purpose, happiest times?
• What needs to be said that you haven’t yet said?
• What needs to be done that you haven’t yet done?
• How will you have contributed to your world?
• Are you on track for making that time of looking back a deeply satisfying one?

This is one-on-one, in-depth coaching built around a process of identifying and implementing a series of individualized accountabilities in the creation of a meaningful retirement. For those who take the 4 R’s of Retirement Workshop first, Retirement Coaching will focus on filling in the details of the framework discovered in the workshop. Retirement Coaching can be helpful anywhere along the path in planning one’s retirement and typically lasts a minimum of 4-6 months. For those already well aware that time is precious, Retirement Coaching is for you, full of ongoing feedback and accountability.

• How fulfilling are constant golf and/or travel?
• Is your spouse as eager for you to retire as you think he/she is?
• Who are you going to have lunch with every day?
• What might a part time job or volunteer position do to your "retirement image"?
• If you don't have a job, what and where is your personal identity?
• Is retirement instant and lasting nirvana?

This is a one-and-one-half hour sampling of Susan's full weekend 4 R's of Retirement Workshop for those who are sticking their toe in the waters of retirement planning. We highly recommend bringing your spouse into your planning, and this is the perfect place to begin! Interactive and fast-paced, this seminar will give you the opportunity to look at your life in a unique visual way, and decide the importance and direction of your future.

For most of us, our personal and work schedules, family obligations and the needs of others have claimed much of our available time and energy during the first half of our lives. Most adults in the second half of life say it wasn't a bad "trade off," yet for almost every one of us, there has always been a mental tug or a bookmark about something we promised ourselves we'd do when we retire. Unfortunately, many people will not experience the joy and fulfillment they dreamed about for the second half of their lives. Their themes will be boredom, loneliness and disconnection, simply due to lack of planning. It requires more careful planning than most people realize. Waiting until you "get there" is often too late. How will you find the potential abundance for your life? How will you step into your second half of life in a different way than your father or mother did? This seminar is a brief opportunity to play with new or remembered possibilities.

• You'll learn the myths of retirement.
• You'll clarify and prioritize your passions.
• You'll choose which trails you want to blaze in life transitions rather than assume those of your parents.
• You'll explore many new possibilities in your search for meaning, joy and expression.
• You'll realize the best is yet to come.

Price: $75.00 individual; $60.00 per person couple; Group rates available.

Weekend Workshop: 4 R’s of Retirement: Rejuvenation, Recreation, Re-Education, Reconnection
This is an intense weekend experience full of epiphanies and conviction exploring the most enjoyable and opportunity-filled aspect of the second half of life. You’ll benefit from ideas and experiences of others in the room as you are guided through the process of defining the meaningful framework for what you’ll be doing in the very near future. There will be many details to fill in later through one-on-one coaching or dedicated personal work. You will leave with a solid overview of what retirement is and isn’t and you will be prepared for the myths that will suddenly confront you when you find yourself officially retired. It's an ideal workshop to take together with your spouse!
