Navigating the Third Act: Retiring with Confidence and Purpose
Dr. Laura Lamps
Retirement today is less a finish line than a transition into a “third act” of life and work. This webinar explores how to step away from a primary career with confidence, identity clarity, and a sense of purpose. We will discuss common emotional and practical challenges — including shifting routines, relationships, and meaning — and strategies for designing what comes next.
Together, we will:
Identify key nonfinancial questions to answer before retiring: purpose, structure, community, health, and identity.
Assess readiness for change and anticipate common transition pitfalls.
Create a simple “third act” plan with near-term experiments: volunteering, part-time work, learning, caregiving, and entrepreneurship.
Develop language to communicate your transition goals with family, colleagues, and mentors.
