Why should I choose a Contemporary Retirement course or coaching package? 

Good question! 

Well... first of all, I’m passionate about helping people like you to get the 

happiest,

healthiest,

most vital,

most productive,

most energetic,

most prosperous,

most fulfilling retirement you could possibly have, whilst, at the same time, helping you to balance having the kind of retirement you want and deserve to have, with planning to meet your future needs.

Secondly, unlike other companies who offer the standard, pre-retirement, financial/estate planning fare, I prefer to adopt a much more holistic approach to retirement.  My courses, which combine proven life coaching and self development principles and practices with current thinking in retirement life-stage planning, help you to excavate your dreams, desires and wishes for this next stage of your life and then use them to design your ideal retirement.

Thirdly, my certification as a Retirement Options™ trained retirement coach and Too Young To Retire™ facilitator, combined with my life coach training from CoachU and the Graduate School of Coaching, and the fact that, for over 20 years, I have worked with individuals and groups as a Life Coach, Manager, Lecturer and Trainer have helped me develop a fun, compassionate, practical, down-to-earth coaching and teaching style.  (And the fact that I took my first retirement at the ripe old age of 43 means that I know what I’m talking about when discussing both the expected and unforeseen challenges which you may encounter once you retire.)

In addition, at various stages of my life I have either been or still am:

·        married

·        divorced

·        a long-term singleton (for 7 years and I enjoyed  
 (almost) every minute of it)

·        a co-habitee

·        a step-parent, complete with KIPPERS (Kids In
 Parent’s Pocket Eroding Retirement Savings)

·        an employee

·        a manager

·        a small-business owner and

    ·          a landlord

- which all means that I have a wide range of life experience, which, in turn, makes me aware of and sensitive to the many and varied needs of my clients and course attendees.

Finally, my free, ongoing Retirement Success Group means that you can continue to receive retirement support during those first few months of your retirement when everything feels strange  and new...

Retirement Success Group

Attend a Contemporary Retirement pre-retirement course or book any of the retirement coaching packages and receive ongoing support via our monthly Retirement Success Group free of charge for as long as you need it.

Every month you will have the opportunity to ‘meet up’ with me and other newly-retired people like yourself via a telephone conference line.   Within this group, you will have the opportunity to:

• explore the options available to you in this next phase of your life
   

• ask any questions that you have about retirement and have them answered
   

• share any concerns that you have and find out how other people are tackling their retirement challenges
   

• share your news and successes
   

• be inspired and motivated by hearing just what other people are doing with their retirement
   

• receive coaching on pressing issues
   

• pair up with a retirement buddy – if you would like to be paired up with another newly-retired group member with whom you can keep in touch via phone and/or email to discuss retirement-related issues, I will do my best to arrange this.

How much does it cost?

Course fees for all courses are £197 per individual and £347 per couple.  Lunch and mid-morning/mid-afternoon refreshments are included.  You will be provided with a file full of materials and you don't even need to bring a pen or paper - they're supplied for you.  Payment of course fees is only due 30 days before the start of the course but early completion of a course registration form is recommended to secure a place on the course of your choice.
