Option 1 - The Retirement Success Profile

The Retirement Success Profile (or RSP) is a unique, personalised, scientifically-designed retirement life-planning tool for people who are either planning their retirement or who are already retired.

It is administered online (so you will need access to a computer which is connected to the Internet) and takes about 20-25 minutes to complete. 

The RSP:

• measures your retirement expectations and preparedness for retirement

• determines your personal retirement strengths and

• identifies potential problems, so that you can then focus your attention and energies in time to make a difference to your retirement success.

The RSP measures your expectations about retirement against your current behaviour in the following 15 factors which have been identified as essential to a successful and fulfilling retirement:

      ·        Work Reorientation

·        Attitude Towards Retirement

·        Directedness

Option 4 - Get the Retirement You Deserve Courses
(Our Pre-Retirement Course)

Why do I need a pre-retirement course?

Although we are gradually getting the message that, financially, we need to plan and make provision for the end of our working lives, most people don’t tend to give the emotional, spiritual, domestic, relationship and leisure implications of retirement a moment’s thought. 

In fact, most of us spend more time planning our annual holiday than we do planning the non-financial aspects of our retirement.  Consequently, many retired people report that they ‘wasted’ the first 18 months to 2 years of their retirement – ironically, the time when they were at their youngest.

What will I learn on my pre-retirement course?

Subjects covered include:

Adjusting to a new lifestyle: Work reorientation, making the most of your time, replacement of work functions, establishing new goals and routines, dealing with change and uncertainty.

Health issues:  Improving your health, exercise and nutrition, discovering your ‘ageing style’.

Home and environment: Stay put or shake things up - what are your options?  How your home environment will need to serve you as you get older.  Discover the assets/liabilities of your current living situation.

Leisure interests: Hobbies and activities, education, travel, sports, learning, TV and other entertainment, balancing solitude and shared activity.

Retirement career options: Do you want to carry on working in some capacity?  Are you considering a second or third career?  Is voluntary work appealing to you?  Have you always wanted to start a business?  What are your opportunities and constraints?

Family and relationship issues: Developing a clear understanding of your own retirement expectations, the expectations of significant others and how to blend the two together. Dependents and care-giving responsibilities - balancing your personal dreams and goals with family and societal responsibilities.  Issues affecting couples in retirement.  Making new friends.

Option 5 - Couples Talking Retirement Courses

It's official... Couples just aren't talking to each other about their wants, needs, fears, hopes and dreams for the second half of their lives.

A recent survey of 502 married couples approaching retirement uncovered the fact that wives and husbands often had different understandings of their plans and preparations for life after the office (or shop, or factory, or... you fill in the blank):

• 61% disagreed on which income source (workplace savings, pensions, Social Security, etc.) would be their primary source of funds in retirement.

• 58% disagreed about whom their spouse would turn to for financial guidance in the event of the other spouse's death.

• 41% disagreed about whether at least one partner would work in retirement.

• 39% differed on the amount of their life-insurance coverage.

Note: Spouses were questioned individually. On average, surveyed couples had been married 24 years and were nine years away from their expected retirement. Husbands were 54 years old, on average; wives were 53.

If you and your partner both retired at the same time, would you be able to cope with suddenly spending large amounts of time together or would you be sick of the sight of each other within a fortnight?

• uncover the differences between your perceptions and understanding of what your life in retirement will be like and those of your partner

• highlight potential challenges

• enable you to work together to minimise the likelihood of future problems arising and ensure that you both get the retirement you deserve..

Option 7 - The Retirement Detox Course

The course that's designed to help disillusioned retirees
to get their retirement back on track…

Do any of these sound like you? 

• You retired recently
   
• You took some much-needed time off to relax but find that you're getting bored now
  

• You had ambitious plans for your retirement that haven't come to fruition and your lack of progress is getting you down
  

• You've already achieved all the goals you set for your retirement and are left feeling 'what next?'
  

• You've been over-run by everyday, mundane activities that leave precious little time for what you really want to do
  

• Something came along that just blew your retirement plans right out of the water - a divorce or serious health problem, for example
  

• It’s starting to feel like your purpose in life retired when you did and that you're floundering around in your retirement
   
• Golf (or gardening, or bridge...) and time spent with the family isn't enough for you and you want and need to do more
   
• When you envisage the remainder of your retirement years, you see only more of the same... and you want something different. Something better.
   
• You still have things that you'd like to accomplish. You still want to travel. Explore. Experience.
   

• Your relationship has suffered since you retired and you’re not sure how to get it back on track
   
• Your partner’s idea of their ideal retirement and your own idea of your ideal retirement differ and you can’t seem to find a compromise
   
• You’d love to be able to start your retirement over again
   

More and more people are hiring a retirement coach or booking onto a pre-retirement course to help them plan the non-financial side of their retirement BEFORE they retire…

But what happens when you’re already retired and things haven’t turned out in the way that you hoped they would?

After all, a pre-retirement planning course is hardly appropriate now because you’re already retired, and anyway, you wouldn’t want to sit alongside all those bright, shiny, new pre-retirees who haven’t had time yet to experience the potential challenges and pitfalls that retirement can bring…

Which is exactly why I designed the Retirement Detox Course for all those people who are maybe feeling a little disillusioned with retirement and are wondering ‘Is this all there is, then?’. 

If you're feeling disappointed or disillusioned by your retirement, don't simply accept that this is the way things have to be – instead, take control and make positive steps and progress NOW towards having the retirement you always wanted to have by joining us on this one-day course in either Manchester or York.

The Retirement Detox Course, will show you to how to take life-changing, good-habit-forming actions that will help you to: 

• take stock of your current situation by determining which areas of your life are working well for you and which aren’t
  

• determine what your definition of happiness is at this stage of your life and show you how to build more opportunities for happiness into your everyday life
  

• envisage, design and plan how you want your ideal retirement to look and feel
  

• determine whether your vision of your ideal retirement and your definition of happiness at this stage of your life match those of your partner
  

• develop a shared vision of retirement with your spouse or partner (or, if you don’t have a spouse or partner, take the steps that will alleviate your worries about feeling lonely and isolated in retirement)
  

• explore how you feel about your other relationships (for example, those with your friends, children, grandchildren and elderly parents) and the expectations those people hold about your retirement
  

• replace the feelings of satisfaction, importance, usefulness, companionship and productivity that you obtained from your work
  

• gain a sense of perspective about your retirement
  

• take back control of your retirement and  
  
• go on to have a retirement life that you really, truly love
   

No matter how dissatisfied or disillusioned with retirement you currently are, this unique course will give you the resources to be able to get your retirement back on track.

Course fees are £197 per individual and £347 per couple.
