Summary

You are about to retire and have long defined yourself primarily through your professional role. You are approaching this new phase of life with mixed feelings. You are a little apprehensive about your last day at work and are asking yourself: What will this be like for me? How will I cope with this new situation? What will I even get up for in the morning?
In our “Changing Lanes” workshop, you’ll explore the following topics:
Who am I without my job?
How do I shape my retirement in alignment with my desires and values?
How do I create structure in my daily life?
How do I deal with the feeling of no longer being needed?
What truly brings me joy, and what do I absolutely want to experience before I die?
How do I build new social connections?
We take a holistic look at all areas of life using our “Changing Lanes Wheel.”
Through the workshop, you’ll gain emotional clarity and develop your personal vision for a fulfilling third phase of life. You’ll go home with an inner “yes” to this new chapter and concrete ideas for putting it into practice.
