You could spend 30+ years in retirement, what sort of retirement do you want to have?

Retirement is one of the most difficult life adjustments adults make. A recent survey showed that 41% of those who recently retired didn't want to settle for a typical retirement. They still want the challenge of work, and the feeling of accomplishment that came with the job. Let me help you to find out the right career option and life style options for you that meets your needs and utilises your natural talents and abilities.

Many people have reached the company retirement age but are not yet ready to stop working. What are you going to do next? You could stack shelves in the supermarket? Do voluntary work? Or perhaps you have some dreams you still want to achieve.

You may have sufficient money so you don't need to work, but having been a bit of a workaholic are wondering whether playing golf and household chores will be enough. A number of clients opt to take the Highlands Ability Battery. Not only to help think around work options but also for developing new hobbies and interests in music, arts, genealogy etc.

Or perhaps you never did get around to investing for the future and you need to earn just to pay the bills?

Take some time to plan the rest of your life, and explore paid work and other interests.

Quotes

Jim always referred to himself as a workaholic and his family were used to him working on holiday. So much of his identity was wrapped up with his job. Having to leave at 60 was a bit of a shock and he found it difficult to make the adjustment.

He needed to have an intellectual challenge, but recognised the need to adapt to this new life stage. He was proud not to have hobbies, so we used the Highlands Ability Battery and Strong Interest Inventory to identify other interests. Following 4 sessions he was able to create a balance of part time paid work, and to develop an interest in family history.
