Retirement is not the end.

We are recruiting our co-creation crew. Interested? Keep reading!

You want to be happy for the next 30+ years. But...

Retirement used to look good

The closer you get to the consume-before date, the scarier it is.

You feel stuck on a fixed path

Impossible to switch now! Grit your teeth and wait it out.

Are you happy with your days?

You start to take stock. Is your job fulfilling? Does it bring you joy? 

What will be your legacy?

You are looking for meaning. What is your purpose?

How do we help?

We have built and tested a structured method which will take you through the steps towards choosing the life you want. Here is a view of the six phases of your journey.

Ready for a change?

Are you unsatisfied? Are you looking more meaning or just different? Are you willing to explore other life options?

Who are you today?

Do your "work" and "life" views align? What gives you energy? What is important, money, impact, expression? Where do you thrive? What are your superpowers?

What's the problem?

What do you want to change? Make that explicit by understanding what you can change, reframing your situation and writing your problem statement.

What's the dream?

What do you want to be remembered for? What skills and experiences can you leverage? What are your - practical or crazy - ideas for paths toward the future?

What's it really like?

How can you pre-live your imagined future? Experiment through actual life experiences to test-run your plan. Map out the attractiveness of each.

Now what?

How do you move forward? How do you keep on track? Who could accompany you, keep you accountable along the way?
