Purpose-Driven Retirement Coaching
“Work is more than just a source of income. It is a social life, a sense of utility and purpose. It provides dignity and pride, and self-esteem within a community. Prospective retirees list financial worries as their biggest concern. Actual retirees, however, rate alienation as their biggest disappointment; loneliness, being cut off from former colleagues, missing their jobs, and feeling behind the times are the kind of issues retirees feel most keenly” (Mitch Anthony, The New Retirementality).

Find Purpose and Clarity with Our Retirement Transition Coaching Group
Retirement is one of the most significant life transitions we experience, but it doesn’t come with a manual. Many professionals plan financially for retirement but overlook the emotional and identity shifts that follow. Our retirement coaching group program helps participants navigate these changes with intention and clarity. This isn’t just about winding down—it’s about stepping into a new phase of life with intention.
Through structured group sessions, participants explore personal values, future goals, and what fulfillment looks like beyond work. Retirement transition coaching with a group offers a supportive space to reflect, dream, and plan with a coach and peer group that understands the journey.
Whether you’re a few years away or already retired, this program helps you reconnect with your purpose, strengthen relationships, and design a life that energizes you. With the right guidance, retirement becomes less about “what’s next” and more about “what’s possible.”
Not Ready to Retire—But Ready to Plan?
Many participants join this program years before retiring, simply to build clarity and confidence. Planning now makes the transition smoother later.
Join Individually or Offer Purpose-Driven Retirement Coaching to Your Team
Purpose-Driven Retirement Coaching is available to both individuals preparing for their next chapter and organizations seeking to support employees through a thoughtful and meaningful retirement transition. This 12-session group program is facilitated by professionally certified coaches and is designed around the Conscious Living Wheel—a proven framework that supports emotional clarity, life visioning, and sustainable post-career well-being, as described in the book Midlife, New Life: Living Consciously in Midlife and Beyond by Eileen Caroscio, Sandy Demarest, and Paul Ward.
If you’re planning your own retirement, you’ll gain insight, structure, and connection through a supportive cohort of peers. If you’re an employer, this program can be offered as a wellness or career transition benefit that reflects care, culture, and valuing long-term impact. It’s a strategic way to retain top talent longer while also honoring the contributions of those preparing to move on to the next chapter.
Whether you’re enrolling yourself or sponsoring someone else, it’s about more than just winding down. It’s about bouncing forward with purpose.
A Retirement Transition Coaching Program That Guides the Whole Person
This isn’t just a course, it’s a journey inward. Our retirement transition coaching program is structured around the Conscious Living Wheel, a holistic model that supports people through the emotional, social, and practical realities of retirement. Based on the work of Caroscio, Demarest, and Ward, the model helps participants explore meaning, purpose, and resilience as they redefine what comes next.
Over the course of 12 weekly sessions, participants will:
-
Identify what truly matters in this life transition
-
Clarify purpose and intentions for the future
-
Design a realistic lifestyle plan aligned with their values
-
Address emotional and identity-related shifts retirement often brings
