  • Authentic Aging: Stay Relevant, Curious, Purposeful and Engaged

    This is not your parents post career life! Baby Boomers are retiring at a rate of more than 10,000 per day and they have high expectations of longevity and engagement. For those with retirement in the headlights there may be expectations based more on how it has been marketed to us than the truth we will experience. For those with retirement in the rear-view mirror there may be a sense that “something is missing”. We will explore the historical impact on expectations and provide discussion and actionable steps one can take to build a post career life filled with purpose and growth. The course will also include an interactive element to allow personal experiences and stories to be shared in a group setting.
