Notes About a Fellow Traveler
When I launched into coaching, I expected to join the ranks of executive coaches but, after completing my coach training, I realized I wanted to coach people on the same journey I was on: the retirement journey.
My clients are people who know they have something valuable to offer by virtue of their life experience and the skills and wisdom hard won along the way. They crave growth but sometimes don't know what direction to go, what they need to learn or what it will take to make the change they want. That's where coaching comes in.
Coaching’s true power resides in disrupting the long-established beliefs and patterns of thinking we all have that subconsciously control our actions and decisions. The disruption enables new ways of thinking to reveal pathways forward.
As a retirement coach, a "thinking partner", I use inquiry, deep listening and reflection to engage in collaborative conversations designed to create a safe space for creativity, exploration and discovery.
People like us can offer the skills, experience and wisdom we have to help build a better world with big actions or small, local or global. And we end up winning too because by continuing to contribute, life post-career becomes purposeful and, with purpose, happiness blooms.
By choosing retirement coaching as you move toward that next life phase, you'll have the support your need to find your path to the best time of your life.
At my coaching table clients are supported:
To work through the uncomfortable or difficult
To dream out loud and experiment with ideas that aren’t quite ready for prime time
To learn more about themselves, build greater self awareness
To create workable plans and be accountable to them
With resources pertinent to their specific needs
