“How do I design the next stage so it is energizing and engaging?”

Preparing for life's transitions requires more than a financial plan.

Design What’s Next provides you with a structure and insights to help you address the often emotional issues as you progress through this transition to a fulfilling next stage in your life.

Terry wanted to identify job options that were more in keeping with his values.

“My career counselor helps me find a job, but this program helped me understand what job I want.” - Terry R.

I want to thank you for your guidance and coaching for the Life Transitions workshop. It has helped me to think through , in a structured fashion my next priorities and actions as I transition into retirement.

I’ve been “retired” for two weeks now, I haven’t looked back, and feel like a 30 year old with boundless opportunities ahead. I’ve set specific goals for myself in terms of weekly reading, attending Boston area lectures and exercising, and in general becoming engaged in a whole world not tied in with my career. So this just spells opportunity.

All this to say, that previously I had some major trepidation about leaving work, and now am finding that great satisfaction with my decision.

So thank you again - Chris

Richard is a therapist interested in identifying new options for his next step in life.

“Expanded my ideas of who I am and what I might do. Get out there – don’t intellectualize - try options and see how they fit.” - Richard L.
