My Dear Readers,

It is heart-breaking to end my blog on travel and retirement due to the pandemic and health issues. I am presently creating a booklet of every blog I have published. My book, The Golden Rules of Retirement Readiness is still available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible. I so appreciated your readership and valuable comments.

What is Retirement Coaching?

The Process

First, you will take a short series of inventory: Skills Inventory, the Riley Guide, Myers and Briggs, Personality Inventory, Emotional Intelligence Test, Chronological Age vs. Real Age, and a Success Profile.

As your coach I will encourage you to prioritize your goals.  I will ask you powerful questions.

Let’s discover what a creative and satisfying retirement will look like on you.

You are a “seasoned” citizen.  You are free to be the real, authentic you.

I look forward to coaching you through this enlightening new adventure.
