Whatever you call it, this stage of life is unlikely to be a straight path any more than your working life was a straight path. The world will change. The people you love and care about will change. You will change and grow in surprising ways.
It’s an ongoing adventure that will reward you more than you know if you embrace it and keep moving forward with gusto and curiosity.
Retirement Is One of Life’s Biggest Transitions.
The dream transition
Some people will slide into it like a boat launched into calm waters. There’ll be a bit of splash at the beginning and then they’ll happily float along. Many of these people have a solid, well thought out plan in place, at least for the first few years of their retirement.
A bumpy start
Others will hit some rocks lying just under the surface and might need help lifting off intact and ready for the journey ahead. These people might have a plan of sorts, but they may not have anticipated things like the deep emotional impacts of a big life transition. Or events beyond their control may have shredded their plan.
Unexpected future hurdles
Still others will launch without incident then, years later, get stuck on an unexpected sandbar. The best laid plans can go awry for any number of reasons including changes within ourselves.
Confidently Moving Forward
If you’re stuck on the rocks or a sandbar, or you haven’t given much thought in your planning to the non-financial aspects of retirement, you don’t have to sit there alone wondering what to do next.
Individual or group coaching focused on retirement and aging can be helpful at any stage of your next chapter journey:
Pre-retirement to prepare for the transition and contemplate first steps
Post-retirement to help with acclimatizing to a new way of living
During a semi-retirement to choose work that you love and find the balance between work and not work
At any time on your journey that you’re feeling stuck or unsure of which path to take next, or you just want to re-charge.
ULeadU Post Career Pathing would be delighted to help you prepare, plan, acclimatize, choose, get unstuck or re-charge wherever you are on your retirement journey.

ULeadU Quest 2025
A Deep Dive into Thoughts, Attitudes & Feelings about Retirement
If life is viewed as a quest, then reaching the point when it might be time to retire to the Third Chapter of that quest, reveals an unknown, yet strangely familiar territory. Some are excited to explore this new place. Others, apprehensive or even fearful. Still others are determined not to go there at all - ever.
ULeadU wants to know more about all that, so we’re embarking on our second Learning Quest, and we’d love for you and your friends to join us. In fact, your thoughts and attitudes about your own post-career/retirement life, whether pending or in progress, are critical to the success of this Quest. So, we hope you’ll come along!
On this Quest, good questions will be asked and answered. A dialogue will begin. New, questions may bubble up that we can ponder later, alone or together. The first leg of the journey, though short and easy, is full of possibility. Who knows where it will take us?
