In today’s episode, I interview Megan Giles, a Retirement Transition Consultant who works with women and men who are looking at retirement and grappling with the question of “What should I be doing with my time ?”and “Is retirement really what I want?” Megan helps her clients to successfully transition to retirement.
In this episode we discuss:
• The big differences between men and women contemplating retirement
• The generational and cultural changes that are impacting how Baby Boomer women face retirement
• What are the motivations that prompt women to start businesses after retirement
• Megan’s tips for women looking to start a business in retirement
Quote: The Baby Boomers have always been the ones to break the rules and to challenge the social norms. I think, why should that be any difference in retirement? Why do they need to retire in the traditional sense of the word, which is kind of kicking back and taking it easy if they’re excited to be doing something else?”- Megan Giles

Focusing on Your Reflections Sheet
The Focusing on You Reflections Sheet has been designed to help you gain clarity and insight into what is important to you, and what you value in life after your career.
What do you mean, I hear you say? I have kids, grand-kids and ageing parents. I know all about their goals and what is important to them, but I draw a blank when it comes to my own dreams and aspirations – I can’t think of anything!
All too often we put the needs of others before our own, but to give our best to others, we need to first take care of ourselves.
This Reflections Sheet therefore provides an opportunity (and permission!) to take some time to focus on just you.
