FREQUENT Q & A's

What is coaching?

Our definition of coaching is:

"You know when someone is unhappy or uncertain about their upcoming or current retirement ?... Well, we help THEM !"

Specifically, we help people to enthusiastically look forward to and enjoy their retirement life.

We do this by assisting them in exploring new options that they may not have considered. Our goal is to help people to discover the excitement of retirement; and also, to help them plan and navigate their own unique path to be all that they can possibly be in their retirement life.

In the retirement phase of our lives, this means becoming a retiree who exudes great vitality; who is happy; interested in life; interesting to others; and, one who is enjoying a totally fulfilling and enriched lifestyle!

What coaching is not.

Coaching is not therapy nor psychological counselling. If the blocks in one's life that are preventing a person from moving towards their life goals are not temporary or situational in nature, professional psychological counsel- ling may be required.

Coaching is not intended to provide therapy.

Coaching CAN help someone to clarify their desires and goals; to determine their strengths and weak- nesses in reaching those goals; and, in formulating a plan to achieve those desires and goals in their life generally and in their retirement years specifically.

What does the "NEW" retirement mean?

The "NEW" retirement model is one that is quickly becoming the norm. This form of retirement essentially fosters renewal and new beginnings rather than endings and decline.

It is a time when people can discover and follow their dreams and call their own shots.

The "new retirement" is characterized by continual growth, life enrichment, a healthy self-esteem, and valued life meaning.

All of these characteristics result in a more balanced lifestyle of purposeful activities, true leisure, total life involvement and spiritual growth.

The "OLD" retirement model is characterized as one that is often seen as a prolonged vacation wherein people engage in "idle busyness" (or doing something that one may not particularly enjoy -- simply for the sake of keeping busy).

This kind of a retirement all too frequently can result in self absorption, reclusiveness, boredom, loneliness and even depression.

There truly is a lot more to a retirement life these days particularly when 60 is the new "40" and when 70 is the new "50" !!

Why do I need retirement coaching?

The "new" retirement is so "new", that many people don't really know what the "new" retirement means nor do they know how to prepare for it.

Every major life phase that we experience requires a significant transformation in our lives.

Retirement coaching helps people understand and plan for this transformation so that they can easily transition from an adult life that has been dominated by work into a fulfilling and enriched retirement life.

These days the transition into retirement is typically reflective of the "new retirement" model bring a balance to several life areas, rather than the traditional retirement model which has been dominated by purely leisure activities.

To make this a successful transition into retirement, it means helping identify what is uniquely important to each retiree in their retirement years, while focusing on all of the major life arenas including:

family;
relationships;
leisure;
health and wellness;
finances;
personal development; and,
work (volunteer or paid).
