Retirement Coaching
What is retirement?
Is it a rest or a time for more leisure, possibly even a new career?
Is it an end to work or the beginning of the end?
The old idea of retirement was that it started at age 65 and you stopped work and slid into old age. Today, the average age for retirement is 57 and the definition of retirement is quite different. We think of retirement as a new beginning, a new life stage often call the third age.
Many people fail to structure a happy, healthy, and meaningful retirement lifestyle. They have vague ideas about retirement and about themselves. Consequently their lives can be unfocused, even though they may seem “OK”. These people may have planned financially, but they didn’t plan personally!

What are your retirement goals?
- Traditional, full-time leisure lifestyle
- Part-time employment
- Another full-time position
- Your own business
- Volunteer work, or even
- Continue what you are doing right now!
Nowadays, retired people are looking for fulfilling activities and enriching endeavours, a chance for fulfilment and to find their own purpose and meaning.
