Life Re-Structuring & Identiy Bridging
Purpose Forward Program
Retiring or retired, you’ve devoted around 1/3 of your life to your career and anticipate enjoying retirement.
BUT there’s a problem: personal identity shifts a lot more unpredictably than imagined.
When you’re ready, the Purpose Forward Program supports you in life restructuring and identity bridging. Our client stories are similar to what researcher Teresa Amabile at Harvard Business School found. **
Within 3 months to 3 years of retiring, traveling, and golf, retirees move beyond the novelty of retirement into wondering ‘What’s next?” Suggestion: see how clearly and succinctly do you answer these 2 questions:
- What is YOUR purpose for being?
- What is YOUR aspiration? (What will you breathe life into with your passion?)
Check out our most popular Life-Restructuring and Identity Gridging package. Not sure, book a Clarity Call!
