Each week there is a Business Referrers meeting which provides a friendly and productive meeting opportunity for local small business owners to share referrals and grow their businesses using the membership as a platform for new ideas, products and services. We have a guest presenter each week who provides information from their areas of expertise.
In Ancient times the word for retirement did not exist. Life was short and usually labour intensive.
Today, we know what we are retiring from, less certain is what we are retiring to. We live longer and in better health as we age.
Transitioning to retirement in Western culture is now mostly a journey of individual choices. Though they are not sequential or of a similar duration, essentially, we all experience the different stages of reaching full retirement. Estelle will inform us about the changes brought to your life whether you are running or rambling towards retirement.
About the Presenter
Estelle Kelly, Desire to Retire
Estelle Kelly, founder of Desire to Retire, has over twenty years of experience in the education and welfare sectors. Desire to Retire is a personalized Retirement Coaching service.
Estelle is based in Balwyn, Melbourne, Australia
Lived experience of semi- retirement provides Estelle with the opportunity to assist others with their challenges in moving to the next stage of life. Coaching opens up possibilities and clarifies personal desires for a quality retirement.
Estelle strongly believes transforming to retirement is not all about the financial side of ageing, but rather how you are you going to live your retirement as you age. What would it look like to have a vital, fulfilling quality of life in retirement? How could Coaching enrich your retirement?
Family is important to Estelle. Her travel adventures take her to family destinations locally and overseas. It’s the journey before arriving to be greeted by family that is part of the adventure.
Estelle asks you to think about what legacies you wish to leave by the end of your life? Are your later years going to be all about leisure activities, volunteer work to help others, enriching the lives of your grandchildren or exploring parts of the world you have never been to before? The dollars and time you invest now in planning for a quality retirement may turn out to be the best work you have ever done. Retirement coaching is Estelle’s purpose for this stage of her life.
You might be thinking what is retirement? The word retires means to withdraw. What are we withdrawing from? What are we retiring to?
It is said, “Successful retirees retire to something, failed retirees retire from something.”
