Contemporary Retirement
Retirement is changing. The type of retirement that their parents enjoyed is no longer enough for the baby boomer generation. Today’s retirees are younger, richer, fitter, healthier and better educated than previous generations of retirees. They also have much higher expectations. The aim of this blog is to help you get the vital, healthy, prosperous, productive and fulfilling retirement that you really want (and deserve).Wednesday, June 21, 2006
New Pre-Retirement Course Dates
I have just posted some new dates for my 2-day pre-retirement courses on the website. The courses will all be held in the UK and the dates are as follows:
17th and 18th July 2006 - York
7th and 8th September 2006 - Leeds
w/b Monday 18 September 2006 (exact dates to be arranged) - Southampton
5th and 6th October 2006 - Manchester
Course content includes:
Adjusting to a new lifestyle: Work reorientation, making the most of your time, replacement of work functions, establishing new goals and routines.
Health issues: Improving your health, exercise and nutrition, discovering your ‘ageing style’.
Home and environment: Stay put or shake things up - what are your options? How your home environment will need to serve you as you get older. Discover the assets/liabilities of your current living situation.
Leisure interests: Hobbies and activities, education, travel, sports, learning, TV and other entertainment, balancing solitude and shared activity.
Retirement career options: Do you want to carry on working in some capacity? What are your options? Have you always wanted to start a business? Do voluntary work?
Family and relationship issues: Developing a clear understanding of your own retirement expectations, the expectations of significant others and how to blend the two together. Dependents and care-giving responsibilities.
And don’t worry – you won’t be just sitting and listening all the time. Our courses are very interactive, with lots of discussion, activities, quizzes and opportunities to ask questions. However, nobody will be embarrassed or asked to do anything that they feel uncomfortable with.
