Retirement is coming.
Arrive prepared and ready.

Retirement, Post Career, Third Act, Next Chapter, Unretirement, Victory Lap, Encore…

Whatever you choose to call it, some people will slide into that phase of life like a boat launched into water. There’s a bit of splash at the beginning and then they happily float along.

Others will hit the rocks lying just under the surface and need help lifting off intact and ready for the journey ahead.

You probably have some idea which of those people you’re likely to be, but retirement can surprise. It’s one of life’s biggest transitions, and, without some preparation, financial and otherwise, it can be rockier than you expect.

Retirement Readiness Coaching with ULeadU Post Career Pathing will help you avoid the rocks and arrive prepared and ready for your future.

Marilyn Hintsa, ACC
Retirement Readiness Coach

I didn't choose coaching. Coaching chose me even as I ignored its call for many years, saying "we'll talk when I retire". Then, I was unexpectedly "early retired", and a real conversation began. One that eventually led me to see that I wanted to coach people like me. People who don’t want to go out to pasture when they exit their careers. They know they have more to offer, and they’re energized to truly "do life" their way.

I’m a board-certified coach who works with successful professionals approaching retirement or recently retired. My clients want to optimize life in their next chapter and find that magic balance between striving and relaxing. I help them tap into their inner navigator to chart their own path and LEAD THEMSELVES into that next phase of life with confidence and excitement.

1:1 Personal Coaching

One on one retirement readiness coaching is fully driven by the needs of each client. If this is what you're looking for, we'll start with a 30 or 60 minute discovery call to explore what you want to focus on in coaching, what might have you stuck, and whether we feel some rapport together.

Next Chapter Dialogues

Next Chapter Dialogues is a weekly, guided discussion group for anyone on a retirement journey – retired, semi-retired, soon-to-retire – that wants to share notes with fellow travellers while exploring topics and ideas pertinent to an engaging post-career life.

The Retirement Sandbox:
A Place to Dream, Plan, Try

This easy pace Zoom workshop is for you if you like to do this kind of work in a group where you can meet new people and be inspired by them. It invites you to envision your future, check in with your core strengths and values, build some new supportive habits, and set goals to make your vision a reality.

Preparing for a major life transition such as retirement is not simply a financial exercise – Marilyn provided me with essential supports to plan for the emotional, mental, social and physical changes that I would experience as I approached my retirement date. Marilyn is adept at deeply listening and coaching from a place of empathy and understanding. She provided a very supportive environment to help me come to terms with the loss of the identity I have had over the past three decades of work and preparing for creating a new identity rooted in a different purpose. The exercises and readings Marilyn recommended opened up a path for me to discover what I need from retirement and to continue to uncover what I want to do with my newfound time and freedom in my own way and in my own time.
