Contemporary Retirement Coaching - Get the retirement you deserve.

Are you ready to explore the possibilities available to you during the second half of life?

Do you have concerns about how you'll manage the life and lifestyle transitions that retirement brings?
Do you wonder how you'll cope with the potential challenges associated with retirement, such as how you'll disengage from work and how you'll replace the feelings of satisfaction, importance, usefulness, companionship and productivity that you obtained from your work? (Or maybe you don't feel ready to retire yet and want to explore your options for continuing to work in some capacity...)
Have you considered how you'll cope when you and your spouse or partner are together every day? (Or, if you don’t have a spouse or partner, are you worried about feeling lonely and isolated in
retirement?)
Do you want to ensure that you'll remain healthy, fit and living in your own home for as long as you possibly can?

Well, you’re not alone!

And, even though there's still a great deal left that you want to be, do and have in life, all these questions buzzing around your head can mean that:

You don't have a clear understanding of your own retirement expectations, the expectations of the other important people in your life and how to blend the two together
You may have still to come to terms with both the positive and negative aspects of retirement and getting older
You struggle to choose between the myriad of options for filling your time in retirement whilst still feeling productive, useful and valued

and so

You’re concerned that you won’t get the vital, healthy, prosperous, productive and fulfilling life that you really want and deserve to have in retirement

Well, my name is Ann Harrison and I can help you with that!

You see, I'm a woman on a mission.

Basically, I want everyone to have the happiest, healthiest retirement they could possibly have, and, so, everything I do is geared towards trouble-shooting retirement-related problems (or, preferably, helping you avoid them altogether).

But, first, let's just back up a little bit...

Let me ask you a question:

What do Susan Sarandon, Bill Clinton, Cher, Donald Trump, Sylvester Stallone, Marianne Faithful, Felicity Kendal and Dolly Parton have in common?

And the answer is:

They're all over 60 years of age.

Can you imagine any of them settling down to
a traditional retirement?

Can you imagine any of them giving up their work
and putting themselves out to pasture?

Can you imagine them just enjoying the occasional game of golf or game of cards with their friends at the over-60’s club?

Me, neither! And that's because...

Retirement is changing.
The type of retirement that their parents enjoyed is
no longer enough for the baby boomer generation.
Today's retirees are younger, richer, fitter, healthier and
better-educated than previous generations of retirees.
They also have much higher expectations.

And, because they ARE younger, richer, fitter, healthier, better-educated and with higher expectations, many people assume that THEY won't have any problems with retirement. That retirement will be all plain sailing. That they won't need any help.

And then, a few months later, they find themselves struggling. And almost wishing they'd stayed on at work. I bet you've seen it too...

They're reaching for the remote control in the middle of the afternoon because they don't have anything better to do, or they're headed for the divorce courts because they can't stand to be around their partner 24/7.

Or it seems as though their get-up-and-go retired at around the same time they did - they're sleeping later in the mornings, napping every afternoon and falling asleep in front of the TV in the evenings!

Well, I don't want that to happen to you (and I bet you don't either! Which is probably why you're here reading this today!)

The fact that you're here, researching and taking an active interest means that you're not leaving anything to chance.

So, where do you go from here?

Well, at the very least, don't forget to sign up for my free eCourse - The 6 Stages of Retirement.

The sign-up box is just up there - on the right (scroll up a bit if you can't see it!)

Just put your name and email address in the appropriate bits and press 'Submit'.

Once you've received all the lessons in the course and you're familiar with the 6 stages, at least you'll know what to expect. And then, if you start to feel a little off track a few months into your retirement, you'll be able to identify which part of the process you're in and have the comfort of knowing that 'it's just a stage you're going through'!
