Exploring life’s choices for a second career path.
Research shows that we’re healthier, more active and living longer than any previous generation. Many of us also plan to keep working and earning into retirement – perhaps launching a second career or following lifelong passions. How can we effectively prepare for this important transition in our lives?
Second ActSM is designed to help individuals and couples write their “script” for life’s next stage by identifying and fulfilling their work, family, community or lifestyle interests. As an alternative to traditional career transition programs, Second ActSM goes beyond the accomplishments, challenges and milestones of the first part of your life to determine the best possibilities for the future. It’s about exploring alternative choices and discovering what will bring you the greatest enjoyment, happiness and satisfaction in your next chapter of life.
Delivered individually or in small groups, this innovative program is customized to address and assess health, wealth and self-fulfillment issues. The result: A clearer picture of how you want to live and what you can do today. Our certified career transition coaches will guide you through the Second ActSM process, which includes:
- The Realities of Transition: Understanding the facts, emotions, issues and questions related to the next stage of life.
- Be Curious Rather Than Certain – Think Possibility: Exploring passions, dreams and possibilities for the future. As part of this process, you’ll identify your (and your partner’s) needs and contributions using SSP BPI Group’s proprietary Q5 Framework coaching model and confidential assessments. You’ll examine the impact of your goals, values and strengths against your preferences, perspectives and decisions.
- Analyzing Your Options: Explore multiple options for how you and your partner could use your time and energy during the next stage of your life. You’ll current and future career, family and legacy issues.
- Finding the Best “Fit”: Narrow and validate choices that maximize satisfaction and help you move into your Second ActSM with increased awareness of needs, goals and expectations.
- Go For It … Or At Least Try: Develop a comprehensive, written plan – or your script – for putting your commitments and decisions into action.
Whether you decide to continue working (in a similar or different occupation), develop a new venture, travel, pursue a hobby, volunteer or combine any of these possibilities, Second ActSM will help create a fulfilling next stage of life.
