Every day’s a Saturday…

After working for 40 plus years, a new phase dawns: retirement. It happens for all of us if we’re lucky. Time to spend in our garden, with family or on the golf course and fill our days with things we want to do rather than what we need to do. This is a huge transition and, whilst it can look very appealing, it can also be very daunting.

A career and job give us structure, a reason to get out of bed every day and, most importantly a sense of identity that we wear with pride. It tells people where we fit. What happens when we no longer have that? Research shows that those who plan their retirement, adjust quicker showing increased fulfilment and better mental health.

Many of us will plan our financial future, but few of us will spend valuable time envisioning what retirement looks like.

How do you find your new purpose? How do you fill your time? Do you still want to use your skills and talents in a different way? Take a moment and have a think: when the alarm doesn’t need to go off on a Monday morning, how would you want your week to look?

Retirement coaching provides a thinking space to explore your ambitions for retirement. What goals you have, tapping into those long-forgotten pastimes that we loved, repurposing the skills and experiences of our careers to give back to the community. Coaching helps you make some decisions and create an action plan for a smoother transition.

We work with many Executives contemplating retirement on a 1:1 basis, as well as group coaching. To find out more visit: www.flyingiguana.co.uk
