Thinking About Your Retirement Future?

, ,

 Have you been thinking about your retirement future? Over 10,000 Americans retire every day, so you’re definitely not alone; but after living a life of purpose and productivity, the reality of retirement can be frightening and confusing(!). Do you know what you’re going to do with your time all day? How will it feel to lose your career identity? Where will your fulfillment come from? Too many retired Americans are wastefully spending their days watching TV – or engaging in all types of “keep-me-busy” activities; and most end up feeling disconnected from society. Did you know there’s a 40% higher chance of falling into clinical depression after retirement. And a 56% […]

BABY BOOMERS REJECT AND REDEFINE RETIREMENT

, , ,

Today’s Retirement Situation—The Hard Truth A majority of those approaching retirement have not thought about what happens after their career comes to an end because the idea of losing one’s identity is frightening. Many of life’s big transitions are scripted for us and follow an established progression from one stage to the next. In school, we progressed from kindergarten to elementary, from middle to high school and the next step for some was college. In the corporate world, you climb the ladder from supervisor to manager, director, VP, President, and then the C-suite. If you’re in the military, you rise through the ranks in proper order. But now that you are […]

RETIREMENT: A NEW BALANCING ACT FOR YOU

,

**Originally published on Forbes.com It’s all the rage now. You’re supposed to find, follow and live your passion. I’m one of those who shout it from the rooftops. In fact, the closing words to my TED talk about fear are, “Let the passion drive you through any fear and obstacles that get in your way. Have confidence in your passion as a tool of strength. Passion is stronger than fear. Let passion rule your day.” And in my coaching course, Sail Into Retirement™, Module One is all about finding your passion. But with so much attention on finding our passion, we sometimes fail to see the beauty and importance in other areas of our […]

Are You Anchored?

, ,

Proper anchoring is not just for boats — it’s for your life. Sailing around the world teaches you to have faith in your anchor. Sometimes it was nerve-wracking as to whether or not the anchor would hold, but after learning proper techniques, we knew we could trust the anchor to hold us through the worst of conditions. Having anchors in your life is important. The potential metaphors are endless. My personal life anchors are mental convictions I can always count on. I confess they don’t hold 100% of the time, but they guide me and keep me from drifting. By sharing my life anchors, I hope to inspire you to establish […]

Would You Benefit from Retirement Coaching?

,

Unsure if coaching is for you? Ask these 3 CEOs A recent Stanford Business School survey of senior executives showed that 100% of CEO’s and nearly that number of presidents of companies wanted to have a personal coach. Yet, only 33% were actually being coached. The reason for the difference? Most CEO’s interviewed said they didn’t want remedial business coaching. They didn’t need someone telling them how to balance a budget. What they needed and wanted was someone to help them with their personal skills and issues in life. They also wanted their coaching to be confidential. The primary coaching subjects desired amongst this group are: Long term visioning and planning […]

REDEFINING RETIREMENT

,

Until now, nearly all retirement planning has been fiscal. Once your finances are in order, the question still remains: What will you do with your time in retirement? It’s a much bigger challenge than expected and very few sources address the problem. Shortly after the euphoria of, “Yahoo! I don’t have to go to work today!” wears off, new retirees often feel: An overall sense of loss Loss of social interaction from fellow employees Lack of purpose Void of fulfillment No longer needed No longer appreciated for their knowledge Suffer from fears about not knowing their next step Disconnected from society Loss of direction Don’t know who to turn to for […]

The Big Problem New Retirees Run Into

,

As a retirement planning coach, I often find new retirees making a common error: they mistake the joy of being retired with being fulfilled in retirement. After the euphoria of, “Yay! I don’t have to go to work today!” wears off, recent retirees often feel an overall sense of loss. Specifically, common feelings are: A lack of social interaction A lack of purpose A feeling you’ve reached your peak and are no longer needed A feeling of being disconnected from society The most common remedy, people think, is filling up the new free time with pleasures. And while pleasures are important, they don’t satisfy a lack of purpose. With a life expectancy of […]
