Are you retired or soon-to-be retired? Did you wake up and wonder what the heck to do with the rest of your life? Do you worry about being fulfilled? You're not alone in your quest for meaning in retirement life. Newly found free time can be hard to fill, and most retirees at some point feel a loss of purpose, value, and connection. Through relatable stories of actual coaching experiences, retirement coaches Charlie Baker, Larry Wofford, and Craig Bothwell highlight common retirement challenges, present habits to overcome them, and help you define your retirement "type". Hear stories from: A workaholic CEO, who retired and struggled to build back her routine. A meticulous planner, who had no clue how to account for all his free time. A former business owner, who missed the fast-paced nature of his job and had to find new ways to use his strengths. And several other retirees just like you. Find your purpose, then make retirement the dream chapter of your life!

Find out how harnessing the powerful business principles of design thinking can make retirement your best chapter in life. There is no one right time or way to retire. Retirement is a major life transition; but if you spend the time designing a future filled with promise and possibilities, the prospect can be utterly exciting and revitalizing. In Retirement by Design, professional mentor and coach Ida Abbott shows you how the innovative business principles behind design thinking can be applied to plan a rich, fulfilling, and more meaningful retirement. Her guided workbook uses a business-like approach to leaving business, making your switch much smoother and less jolting. Whether you’re considering a new place to settle down, working through financial planning, strategizing how to unwind a business, or deciding on which organizations you want to stay engaged with, making critical decisions takes a lot of organization, thought, and planning. Abbott shows how the five principles of design thinking will revolutionize your retirement-planning process: Empathy: Get inside the shoes of your future self. What will be important to that version of you? Define: Hone in on what is and will be most critical for you to focus on (whether it’s volunteering, family, activities, or skills). Ideate: Draw, scribble, brainstorm, and throw around as many different retirement scenarios as you can come up with. Prototype: If retiring across the country in Arizona sounds perfect—try it out first. Come up with opportunities to test out your scenarios with short trips and trial time off. Test: This is the fun part—get back to the drawing board and try more retirement scenarios (and future versions of yourself) before sitting down to make those life-changing decisions. The new and innovative, self-coaching approach of Retirement by Design helps you spearhead and navigate a major next step in life. Whether your retirement is 10 years away or swiftly approaching, this workbook ensures you will create a future that is perfectly tailored to you.
