| Description | Whether you are considering retirement, on the verge of it, or already retired, how to approach and live within this important life transition is critical. Retirement is not just about replacing your paycheck. Retirement creates change in almost every aspect of your daily life, so it is important to think about this next phase of life, putting as much time and effort into the personal side as you do the financial side. The act of retirement opens the space and time to focus on what interests you, something you are curious about, or something you left behind and now can revisit. Addressing personal goals and questions and navigating a successful retirement requires some thought and an openness to exploring. In this two-part workshop we will examine a few themes to consider in approaching or actively “sitting in” the experience of retirement: - Strengths You Bring to Retirement
- Phases of Retirement
- Power of Purpose
- Connection and Community Building
AND, more… We point the way with resources, insights, and curiosity, and you consider the possibilities.

While serving as Executive Director of the Career & Internship Center at the University of Washington for over 18 years, I had the opportunity to help individuals discover their strengths and place in the work world by sharing their gifts. I performed this work primarily within higher education, in leadership roles that allowed me to provide direction and give rise to programming and services that support a path towards living our best lives both professionally and personally. A few years back I decided to try my hand at retirement. It has been a messy transition, as they often are. However, enlisting curiosity and through trial and error I found my place, working with others in the practice of embracing transitions. |
