Practical Experience

- 2008 Created Life After Work series of self-help books and videos to enable a broader
distribution of this unique retirement lifestyle planning program.
According to the Conference Board, over 40% of the labour force is poised to retire
in large numbers by the end of this decade. Put yourself in their shoes - if you
aren't already wearing them. The most common concern among pre-retirees, based on
our experience and research, is the looming question; What will I do with myself
when I retire? Life After Teaching will enable teachers to answer this question.
Because it is a self-help program that can be completed by the individual, it will
not take up any of your valuable time organizing or running the program.
- It shows that you care for their future.
- It could relieve a sense of concern or anxiety among teachers who are apprehensive
about retiring.
- Some teachers who have “retired on the job” may be more inclined to retire.
- They will see this education as a direct personal benefit.
- It is very cost effective and will not take any of your valuable time.
- They will definitely appreciate the opportunity to plan for their life after teaching.
Life After Teaching is an effective and unique retirement lifestyle (non-financial)
planning program. The purpose is to increase the individual’s “Retirement Lifestyle
Readiness”. Although this concept originally focused on the financial domain, because
money alone will not guarantee retirement happiness, it is important to establish
how ready one is for the non-financial side of retirement. A few highlights include:
- It is a self-help program that can be completed by the individual - anywhere, anytime.
- Based on our exclusive survey among 450 retired teachers in the US and Canada - the
true experts on retiring from teaching.
- The main focus is on Life Goal Planning - how to find worthwhile and enjoyable replacements
for work.
- Developed by Dr. Alan Roadburg who has more than 20 years of academic and practical
experience in this area.
