MACCA PRESENTS
Each of Us an Expert - Wait, I'm Too Old to Retire
What Comes Next After a Successful Career?
Friday May 12, 2023 | 12:00PM - 1:00PM
Via Zoom
It can be daunting to plan our life “in retirement,” even as we know this next chapter is going to happen, whether we plan for it, or not. As coaches, our clients may be facing the same uncertainty.
While financial planning is standard practice, we rarely consider the psychological and practical considerations. For Gen X’ers and baby boomers transitioning from more traditional work arrangements, going from 100 MPH to 0 can seem unthinkable, especially if the retirement decision is being made for us (i.e., we’re being nudged out the door).
So, what can we do? And, as coaches, how can we help older clients who may be struggling with this issue. Join MACCA and Emily Rothberg, Rothberg Coaching, LLC, for an interactive session as we explore this next chapter of life. Emily will 1) share why emotional retirement planning is so daunting, 2) offer options, including a framework, for determining what’s possible, and 3) offer tips and activities to take away as food for thought.
