Revision Workshop: What next? Retiring 'to' not 'from'
We use the word 'retire' but this workshop is for anyone thinking about moving from a mainstream career. It is designed to help you make the transition to your next life stage whether you are rethinking directions for your forties, assessing options in your fifties, or seeking new paths for your sixties, seventies and beyond.
The workshop takes you through a range of specific exercises and processes to clarify which next steps may be realistic for you, which will give you the greatest satisfaction and, if necessary, an income stream. It will help you find new ways to use old skills or to develop new directions and new skills.
We are not financial advisers, we need to make that absolutely clear. But we have been impressed by the extraordinarily inventive, sustainable things people have found to do that also deliver financial gain.
These are problem-solving sessions. We work in small groups so that people can take advantage of the insight and experience of others. It also gives people a chance to build new networks, one of the secrets of successfully moving on to new activities.
The workshop creates an environment for sharing and developing your ideas and crafting next steps and directions. We offer ways to:
- approach this new phase of life
- identify a range of possible opportunities to follow
- select and realistically assess options and opportunities
- connect with mentors and networks for new directions
- assess new sources for learning, including volunteering
Outcomes include:
- expanded awareness of options and opportunities
- support in moving towards a new direction
- as assessment of what may be possible
- a beginning plan for the next stage
The workshop is 8 hours in total (offered either as a full day or two half days or four 2-hour sessions). The fee is $175 (incl GST) and covers two individual sessions: one before the workshop to discuss your particular interests, ideas and intentions; and one after to find out how you are going and whether there is anything more we can do to help.
