Questions
What people usually ask first.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is forward-looking and practical: we clarify what matters to you, decide what to try, and hold you accountable to it. If something comes up that is better served by a therapist, I will say so and help you find the right support.
Do I need to be close to retirement?
No, and earlier is better. My research found that the executives who transitioned well had started building a life outside work years before the decision. I work with people anywhere from a few months to fifteen years out, and with some after a transition they did not choose.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. What you share in our sessions stays between us. If a company sponsors your coaching, we agree up front on what, if anything, is reported back, and it is never the content of our conversations.
Do you give financial advice?
No. Your financial advisor handles the money side of retirement. I work on everything else: identity, time, relationships and purpose. The two conversations work best side by side.
How do sessions work?
One-on-one, in person or by video or phone, whichever suits you, and I am glad to travel. Sessions are built around your schedule. Short exercises between sessions keep our time focused on reflection and decisions, and brief check-ins keep momentum.
Can my company pay for it?
Yes. Engagements can be sponsored by an employer as part of leadership development, succession planning or a senior transition. I am happy to speak with your firm directly.
Can my spouse or partner be involved?
Yes, and I encourage it. The research is clear that a transition is shared, and how a couple plans the next chapter together shapes how it feels for both. We can include a session for the two of you.
What happens on the first call?
It is a 30-minute conversation with no obligation. You tell me where you are and what you are weighing, I ask a few questions, and together we decide whether working together makes sense. You will leave with at least one useful idea either way.
