You’ve spent a lifetime serving others. Moving forward, what’s next?

Retirement isn’t always easy or like we imagine. Especially for people with rewarding, high profile careers that absorb a great deal of life and time. Visualizing what’s next requires facing complex behavioral and psychological life changes.

Navigating a satisfying transition into retirement and successfully moving through other lifestyle changes involves taking a candid, individual, strategic look at personal dreams, regrets and expectations. We listen carefully… then help you craft an action plan.

 

Our professional objective is to help our physician clients identify and resolve perceived barriers when entering the next phase of life, both professional and personal. Our pragmatic approach enables you to begin shifting gears while magnifying meaningful time for yourself. With forethought and fresh insight, you can achieve 20/20 vision for retirement’s predictable, expected and unexpected events.

 

Common concerns when approaching retirement:

• losing my colleagues and friends—feeling out of touch
• losing the respect and esteem of my colleagues
• losing my purpose, medical reputation and income
• finding significant ways to fill my days
• living a so-called “normal life,” no longer feeling like an “all star”
• ambivalence towards retirement—feeling “in limbo”
• feelings of dread about an unfamiliar lifestyle
• fear of being invisible or not needed
• relating socially outside the medical world
• my indecisiveness, the unpredictability and family’s expectations
  

Especially for Women Physicians:

“You can have it all. You just can’t have it all at the same time.”
–Oprah Winfrey

With years of putting career and family first, many women may neglect personal leisure. Retiring women physicians frequently need to “talk it through” to regain balance and insight into what the next phase of life’s “all” can include.
