SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Navigating the Third Act: Retiring with Confidence and Purpose
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nTogether\, we will:\nIdentify key nonfinancial questions to answer before retiring: purpose\, structure\, community\, health\, and identity.\nAssess readiness for change and anticipate common transition pitfalls.\nCreate a simple “third act” plan with near-term experiments: volunteering\, part-time work\, learning\, caregiving\, and entrepreneurship.\nDevelop language to communicate your transition goals with family\, colleagues\, and mentors.
