Retirement-Ready: 10 Tips for Loving Your Third Act
Stream: Career Transition
As we continue to live longer, healthier and more active lives than ever before, transitioning into retirement means more than financial planning or digging out the golf shoes and garden shears and setting up visits with the grandkids. In fact, a fulfilling “third act” provides opportunities to weave together work, learning and leisure for the life you desire. Join us to learn how to:
- phase out of full-time work or semi-retire;
- create new purpose and meaning in your third act by balancing learning, leisure and work; and
- keep relationships and self-care a priority.
