Don’t Just retire…refire!
The second-half of your life just might be the best
half! Life transitions are inevitable. It’s how we
approach them that is critical. Getting clear on what
you want is key. Most Boomers know they don’t
want their parent’s brand of retirement. Ditch
the concepts for a new paradigm, a model for life
transitions that refocuses on your “must haves.” Facilitator Mary
Ellen Hoeh MA has helped thousands of people via the “Williams
Bridges Model of Change.” Res/Non Res $5.
