Rethink Retirement

The Core Framework: Four Things that Shape a Fulfilling Retirement

Rethink Retirement focuses on four essential elements that determine how satisfying this next chapter will be:

Your Identity

Work often defines who we are—how we introduce ourselves and how others see us. When work ends, identity can feel fragile or unclear. This program helps participants explore who they have been, what still matters, and who they are becoming.

Your Daily Structure

Freedom without structure often leads to drift. Retirement requires a new rhythm—one designed intentionally rather than inherited from a work calendar. Participants learn how to design days that create energy, balance, and momentum.

Your Purpose

Purpose does not disappear at retirement—but it often needs to be rediscovered or redefined. This work helps people reconnect to meaning, contribution, and significance beyond titles or productivity.

Your Community

Work provides built-in social connection. Retirement requires rebuilding community more consciously. Participants explore how to cultivate belonging, connection, and relationships that sustain them emotionally and socially.

These four elements form the foundation of the Rethink Retirement program.

THE RETHINK RETIREMENT PROGRAM

A Guided Experience to Help You Design What Comes Next

Rethink Retirement is an experiential program designed to help individuals navigate the transition out of full-time work with clarity and intention. Rather than offering advice or prescriptions, the program creates space for reflection, conversation, and practical design.

Participants leave with:

  • A clearer sense of who they are becoming
  • Tools to structure their days with purpose
  • A renewed understanding of what gives their life meaning
  • Strategies to rebuild community and connection

Virtual Program

The virtual Rethink Retirement experience brings together small groups for guided reflection, discussion, and practical exercises. Delivered live online, it allows participants to engage deeply while connecting with others navigating similar transitions—no matter where they live.

Ideal for individuals, cohorts, or organizations supporting employees approaching retirement.

In-Person Program

The in-person Rethink Retirement experience offers a deeper, immersive format. Through facilitated workshops, small-group conversations, and reflective exercises, participants slow down and engage more fully with the questions that matter most.

Ideal for retreats, leadership programs, associations, and organizations seeking a thoughtful approach to life after work.
