Living a purposeful and joyful life in retirement doesn’t always come easy to retirees, especially if you’ve had a demanding career and haven’t thought about retirement beyond the pure ‘vacation’ aspects.
Many of my clients find me when they are approaching retirement and feeling uncertain about what’s next. They know they don’t want a traditional retirement, but they might not be sure what they actually do want, or they might be carrying around limiting beliefs like “I’m too old to start something new” or “It’s too late”.
Retirement coaching can help you design the next phase of your life and give you confidence that you know the right next step for your fulfilling post-career life.
Here are my top 5 benefits of working with a retirement coach
- Understanding and Adjusting your Mindset
A retirement coach will help you uncover and shift the negative beliefs that could prevent you from realizing your full potential. A successful retirement results from creating a positive vision for your future and viewing retirement as a new beginning instead of viewing retirement as the end of your career.
- Identifying yourself Outside of your Career
Our identity is so often tied to our job titles. Working with a retirement coach will help define yourself when you leave your work. You will discover that you are so much more than the title printed on your business card.
- Finding your Purpose
What will be your inspiring reason to get out of bed every morning when you retire? Having a purpose is a critical part of your retirement plan. A successful retirement involves understanding what it means to live a purposeful life and how to find purpose in yours. A retirement coach will help you to see exciting new possibilities for your future that are completely authentic and aligned with who you really are.
- Creating an Action Plan
Once you have created a positive vision for your retirement life, your retirement coach will help you move from idea to action – setting specific goals and actions to bring your purposeful retirement to life.
- Personalised Support and Collaboration
There’s something special about working with someone who is committed to your personal development. A retirement coach is there every step of the way to help you create a plan for the mental, social, physical, and spiritual changes that take place in retirement. They are by your side as you learn how you will make the most out of this phase of your life.
