Planning for Life-After-Work
with Zeal Coaching for Life and Career
Retirement can be the beginning of new adventures, joys, and great successes – how you spend it is up to you. Creating your ideal years takes some soul searching, dreaming, and planning to find your unique balance of freedom with long term meaning.
As many retirees discover, leaving one life to begin another can be difficult. The lack of structure, social connection and defined purpose can leave the most accomplished retiree feeling adrift. Having a proactive approach to this emotional transition while exploring the endless possibilities for your new life can make all the difference.
For 25 years Christy Shell, Certified Executive, Career and Life Coach, and owner of Zeal Coaching for Life and Career, has been helping professionals maximize their careers and live their lives with passion and meaning.
